| 00:01 | No more civil registrations for the children of LGBT couples, states the Prefecture of Milan. | |
| 00:05 | The mayor of Milan, B. Sala, won’t accept this. He met some rainbow families, | |
| 00:08 | telling them he will be fighting against it. | |
| 00:11 | From today on, in the capital of Lombardy, two mothers or two fathers | |
| 00:15 | cannot register a newborn in the civil registry together any longer. | |
| 00:18 | The only procedure available is adoption, which is more complex and expensive. | |
| 00:21 | The municipality of Milan, after reporting the legal vacuum, had already been | |
| 00:25 | legally recognizing the children of LGBT-parenting families for some years, | |
| 00:29 | despite some delays in the process. The juridical matter is complex. | |
| 00:33 | Last December the Court of Cassation, in Rome, ruled out the possibility | |
| 00:38 | of directly registering both same-sex parents in the newborns’ birth certificate. | |
| 00:43 | The ruling established that the approval of the court is required. | |
| 00:46 | The Ministry of the Interior’s stance is consistent with it. | |
| 00:49 | The Prefecture of Milan has added a further restrictive measure. | |
| 00:54 | The ban also includes the case of two mothers raising children born in Italy. | |
| 00:58 | The Prefecture’s directive allows the direct and immediate legal recognition of just one parent. | |
| 01:06 | In the birth certificate only the biological parent can be mentioned, that is, | |
| 01:10 | the one who provided either their sperm or their egg cells for procreation. | |
| 01:13 | The other same-sex parent won’t be included. | |
| 01:16 | LGBTQ Associations’ protests followed. | |
| 01:19 | The only method left is adoption, which can often take years. | |
| 01:22 | The protests are about the outcome in the long run, that is, limited parental rights. | |
| 01:27 | “We are going backwards,” stated the mayor of Milan, B. Sala, | |
| 01:31 | who has announced his renewed commitment to a solution for the issue. |
