The northern Italian city of Padua has started removing the names of non-biological gay mothers from their children’s birth certificates under new legislation passed by the “traditional family-first” government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

    …do you not understand how an abusive parent being on the birth certificate would have legal and custody implications?

    That’s not something that only the DMV/passport office sees, family judges see and may use that to determine custody arrangements, which can lead to abuse. I’m not sure how you managed to ignore the biggest and most obvious implications of changing parentage on the birth certificate.

      Birth certificate is just the record of the birth and allied conditions. You should not be able to change the biological parent records just like you should not be able to change the location of your birth or the dates.

      What relation you have with anyone has no bearing on those records. I don’t like the city I was born in doesn’t mean I can just change it.

      One’s adoptive parents have full custody, that is the point of adoption.

        It’s unfortunate that this community just mass downvotes anyone percieved as going against the approved narrative, even if it’s literally just stating facts.
