Hundreds of people took to the streets in Milan on Saturday in protest against moves by Italy's new right-wing government to restrict the rights of same-sex parents.
"You explain to my son that I'm not his mother," read one sign held up amid a sea of rainbow flags that filled one of the northern city's central squares.
Milan had been registering children of same-sex couples conceived overseas through surrogacy -- which is illegal in Italy -- or medically assisted reproduction, which is only available for heterosexual couples. Fabrizio Marrazzo of the Gay Party said about 20 children are waiting to be registered in Milan, condemning the change as "unjust and discriminatory".
