Italy begins stripping lesbian mothers of their parental rights

In conjunction with its crackdown on the rights of same-sex parents, the Italian government has begun retroactively stripping same-sex parents of their legal connection to their children.

Michela Leidi told the Daily Mail that she “cried for ten days” after receiving a letter informing her she would be removed from her daughter’s birth certificate. “It was as if I did not exist.”

1. This is awful! And scary.

What possible benefit could there ever be from removing a loving parent from a child’s official family?

[The Unmitigated Gall]

3. No benefit.

It's just the cruelty.

Nothing else.

Cruelty is the black, withered heart of fascism.

2. What??!!!!

I guess we can expect the right wing to try the same here too. I hope there’s no such thing as reincarnation, because when I die, I do not ever want to come back to this planet. People here are too stupid and too evil.

5. Some just love cruelty and sadistic laws ... as long as it doesn't affect them. n/t

6. How can they sleep at night

knowing they are depriving a child of a parent?

[pazzyanne]

13. They don't think beyond their short term goals and their talking points!

Their prejudices take complete priority in their lives.

7. How is this RW anti-gay stuff spreading around the world? It's like we're slipping back

into the Dark Ages.

9. IMO hatefulness is a core personality trait of many humans but often latent and not even recognized

until a target is identified. Then, for some reason, persecution feels good to them and often group think, mob rule kicks in. There is often a thin line IMO between being civilized and barbarianism. And sadly some institutions love hatefulness and persecution toward an identified target.

8. Not unlike trump separating kids from their parents at the border

Cruelty is the point.
