LGBT+ couples in Italy are being denied recognition on their surrogate child’s birth certificate under a new rule created by Georgia Meloni.<br /><br />The far-right prime minister has written to city mayors asking them to stop registering the children of so-called “rainbow families”.<br /><br />Gay parents Giovanni Bianco and Cosimo Mirigliano live in the UK with their six-month-old baby who was born via a surrogate.<br /><br />“I want to ask for my daughter Sole’s passport, but they asked me to take my name out of her birth certificate,” said Mr Bianco, “It’s crazy.”<br /><br />Unlike in the UK, surrogacy is against the law in Italy and people who practice it can face up to 6 years in jail and a fine of up to a million euros.
