Novel partnership rights protest
• Laws and Politicians, Mostly Bad
Italians have been called upon to show up en masse on Valentine's Day in Rome to set a new world record for a kiss.
The kissing contest, organised by the promoters of a campaign that favours unmarried couple living together, is to take place in front of the French embassy. ...
Apart from trying to set a new record, the February 14 event in Rome is also aimed at supporting proposed legislation in Italy that would allow two people — of the same sex or not — to live together and enjoy the same rights as married couples. ...
The Roman Catholic Church is opposed to such legislation.
