GAY TRUTH

ROME , May 12, 2014 – The municipal authorities of the city of Crotone in the far south of Italy have voted to allow resident same-sex partners to register as “ civil unions ,” despite the fact that there is no provision in Italian law for such recognition. Opponents of the move have called it “futile” and ideologically motivated, since such registries would have no legal reality. On May 6, the town council  approved a resolution  that said the intention was to “provide for the protection and support of civil unions in order to overcome situations of discrimination and promoting integration into the social, cultural and economic development of the territory.” “Areas of concern” for the resolution included “housing, health and social services, youth policy, sports, education, school and educational services, rights and participation, transportation.” It says that the new rule will allow the registry of “civil unions” for “two persons of different sex or of the same sex and

The text of the bill not only permits two people of the same sex to “marry,” but also enshrines gender ideology into its marriage statute. It states that “the institution of matrimony will include the union of two contracting parties, whatever their gender identity or sexual orientation, on the same terms, with equal effects and forms of solution that the Civil Code currently establishes.” The Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the National Congress, is reportedly scheduled to vote on the measure tomorrow, following approval of the text of the bill by the chamber’s Constitution and Codes Commission.

The court , which is the nation’s highest authority on constitutional matters, voted 9-1 on Nov. 3rd against the suit challenging the constitutionality of Chile’s Civil Code , which recognizes marriage as the union of “a man and a woman.” The three homosexual couples, who were aided by Chile’s Homosexual Integration and Liberation Movement (MOVILH), sought to register themselves as “married” in September 2010, but were refused.  Two of the couples had already contracted “marriages” in Canada and Argentina respectively. The justices ruled that the definition of marriage falls under the jurisdiction of parliament, not the court. It is up to the legislature to regulate “ civil union between two persons, independently of their sexual orientation, including opening the inst

Image via Wikipedia Law professors attending Argentina ’s most important conference on civil law have voted to declare that the nation’s recently-passed homosexual “ marriage ” legislation is unconstitutional. The legal scholars also recommended the prohibition of homosexual adoption , and condemned the legal concept of multiple mothers or fathers of the same child as incompatible with the nation’s civil code. The resolutions were passed at the biannual National Symposium on Civil Law (Jornadas Nacionales de Derecho Civil), held this year at the prestigious National University of Tucumán from September 29 to October 1. In a 32-24 vote, the commission assigned to the topic of homosexual “marriage” rejected Argentina’s Law 26.618 as unconstitutional.  The law, which creates the institution of homosexual “marriage,” was passed in July of 2010 by the National Congress and signed into law by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner . The attorneys also voted 22-8 to recommend that the l
