Hello friends,
It's official: today, the Italian House of Deputies gave the final vote needed to make civil unions a reality for gay and lesbian couples in Italy.
Last February, we delivered a petition signed by more than 42,000 All Out members – including you! – to Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Italian senators. We joined a massive mobilization by Italian organisations that got the bill approved in the Senate a few weeks later.
This is an important first step, but there is more work to be done: the new law still allows discrimination against children with gay or lesbian parents. We’ll keep fighting until all families are treated equally – in Italy and everywhere else.
Thanks for going All Out,
Matt, Enrique, Yuri and the rest of the All Out team.
