This is what is bad about separation of Church and State, then add Religious Liberty and the queers take over.

ROME (Reuters) Italy’s parliament approved same-sex civil unions and gave some rights to unmarried heterosexual couples on Wednesday (May 11) after Prime Minister Matteo Renzi called a confidence vote to force the bill into law.

Italy is the last major Western country to legally recognize gay couples and an original draft law had to be heavily diluted due to divisions in Renzi’s ruling majority.

The bill had faced stiff opposition from Catholic groups who said it went too far, while gay activists said it was too timid. MORE
