Italian Mayor Leads Charge for Same-Sex Marriage Referendum

Corbetta Mayor Marco Ballarini is spearheading a drive to collect signatures for a crucial referendum in Italy. The referendum aims to achieve equal rights for same-sex couples by amending the current laws that differentiate between civil unions and marriages. "This proposed law aims to equalize the two types of unions," explains Ballarini in a recent video statement. He emphasizes the ease of signing the petition online, accessible to all Italian citizens over 18 with a digital identity. This initiative reflects a growing movement for LGBTQ+ rights in Italy and highlights the ongoing debate surrounding marriage equality. Ballarini's video has already garnered significant attention, underscoring the public interest in this important social and political issue. The success of the signature drive will determine whether the referendum proceeds, potentially leading to a significant change in Italian law.
