Italy's constitutional court ruled that female partners in same-sex couples using in vitro fertilization abroad can now both be recognized as legal parents. Celebrated as a historic win by LGBTQ advocates, this decision emerges amid pushback from the conservative government, which has imposed restrictions on parenting rights for same-sex couples, including a firm stance against surrogacy. Although same-sex civil unions were legalized in 2016, Italy still enforces domestic IVF restrictions on same-sex couples, differentiating its approach from more progressive European nations resting on LGBTQ family recognition.
Italy's constitutional court has ruled that same-sex female couples using IVF abroad can both be recognized as parents, marking a significant step for LGBTQ rights.
