ROME - Same-sex civil unions in Italy rose in 2023 to a six-year high, the country's national statistics office said on Friday, but at the same time LGBTQ groups say the current conservative government is making life harder for them.There were 3,019 same-sex unions last year, ISTAT said, a 7.3% year-on-year increase. It was the highest number since 2017, the first full year after same-sex partnerships were legalized under a center-left administration.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni won power in 2022 at the helm of a right-wing coalition following campaign pledges to defend traditional family values and fight against what she and her allies call the LGBT lobby.Since then, her government has sought to stop local authorities from registering both parents for the children of same-sex parents and parliament last month approved a bill making it illegal for any couple to go abroad to have a baby via surrogacy.
