For the first time in history, an Italian party has said ‘yes’ to same-sex marriage.
The move came from Antonio Di Pietro, leader of Italia dei Valori (Italy of Values), early this morning (15 May).
His stance has been relaunched on the IDV’s website by gay activist and member of regional party of Emilia-Romagna for IDV party, Franco Grillini.
Grillini said: ‘Our party has been the first in Italy to follow US president Barack Obama. We invite other Italian parties to support gay marriage. You don’t have to be shy, you have to say yes.’
