November 09, 2004

(CPOD) Nov. 9, 2004 - Many adults in Italy reject the possibility of wedlock for gay and lesbian partners, according to a poll by Eurisko published in La Repubblica. 61 per cent of respondents are opposed to same-sex marriage.

In Europe, only Belgium and the Netherlands currently allow marriage for same-sex partners. In Spain, the government recently approved a law that would allow gay and lesbian partners the right to marry, divorce and adopt children.

In the United States, voters in 11 states supported amendments to their state constitutions on Nov. 2 that define marriage as the union between a man and a woman.
