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.

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 attorneys also voted 22-8 to recommend that t...
