Italys right-wing government is removing lesbian mothers names from their childrens birth certificates as part of a crackdown on same-sex parenting and surrogacy.

In the northern city of Padua, 27 mothers have been removed from their childrens birth certificates, CNN reported Friday . And in Bergamo, at least one mom was removed from her childs birth certificate, the Daily Mail reported.

The draconian new measure allows only a childs biological parent to be listed on their birth certificate. The measure will also block men in same-sex relationships from registering the birth of their child with both dads names, according to CNN .

The extremist new law was put into place by Premier Giorgia Meloni, the countrys first female prime minister. She has routinely attacked what she has called the the LGBT lobby , and has said she wants to ensure that all babies are born from a man and a woman, according to CNN.

Melonis party, the Brothers of Italy, has roots in the countrys neo-fascist movement .

The ban is one of the most concrete manifestations of the fury that the right-wing majority is unleashing against LGBTI people, Gabriele Piazzoni, secretary general of Arcigay, Italys largest LGBTQ+ rights group, told Reuters.

Michela, a 38-year-old lesbian mom who spoke to the Daily Mail, said she cried for ten days when I opened the letter revealing her name had been removed from her childs birth certificate.

I suspect the government is afraid that a family that looks different, like ours, can be as happy maybe even happier sometimes as a traditional family, Michela told the publication. On paper, they say Giulia has one mother but we know she has two. We will do everything possible to prove we are a good family.
