openly made outing?

What did you mean by this?

According to data from the 2010 Italy Eurispes report released 29 January, the percentage of Italians who have a positive attitude towards homosexuality and are in favor of legal recognition of gay and lesbian couples is still growing.

82% of Italians consider homosexuals equal to all others 41% think that homosexual couples have the right to marry in a civil ceremony, and 20.4% agree with civil unions. In total, 61.4% are in favor of a form of legal recognition for gay and lesbian couples. This is an increase of 2.5% from last year (58.9%) and almost 10% in 7 years (51.6% in 2003). "This is further proof that the Italians are ahead of their national institutions. Our parliament hear more people and what they hear as soon approve a law that guarantees gay people the opportunity to publicly recognize their families, as is done in 20 European countries "- said the national president Aurelio Mancuso Arcigay.[40]

A 2013 Pew Research Center opinion survey of various countries throughout the world showed that 74% of the Italian population believe homosexuality should be accepted by society (the 8th highest of all the countries polled), while 18% believe it should not.[44] Young people were generally more accepting: 86% of people between 18 and 29 were accepting of gay people, while 80% of people between 30 and 49 and 67% of people over 50 held the same belief. In a 2007 version of this survey, 65% of Italians were accepting of gay people, meaning that there was a net gain of 9% from 2007 to 2013 (the 4th highest gain in acceptance of gay people of the countries surveyed).

I'm not surprised an anglo doesn't know shit about history, the Waldensians are 12th century protestants.
German protestantism was basically a hijack of several much older european movements by the synagog of Satan.
>The movement originated in the late twelfth century as the Poor Men of Lyons, a band organized by Peter Waldo, a wealthy merchant who gave away his property around 1173, preaching apostolic poverty as the way to perfection. Waldensian teachings quickly came into conflict with the Catholic Church. By 1215, the Waldensians were declared heretical and subject to intense persecution; the group was nearly annihilated in the seventeenth century and were confronted with organized and generalized discrimination in the centuries that followed.

Nothing to do with religion. It is a live and let live policy and they need some kind of recognition of their status if they want to leave some inheritance to the partner.
Now let's see which countries allow gay couples to make kids.

>>139717361
I mean, eventually Italy will likely allow gays to adopt kids. The young people are much more tolerant of gays, here and there.

>>139717286
So they aren't your catholic brothers and sisters?

Tell me, what does the Protestant Magisterium say about gay marriage?

>>139717608
You need a new catchphrase.

>>139717727
Magisterium? I have no idea what that is.

>>139717660
We're talking about religion not the country they come from you switched it to that to try to change the subject.

>>139717361
A simple Will can allow transfer of anything to anyone. No need for fag marriage at all.

>>139717973
That's only for inheritance. Marriage has many other elements, legally speaking.

>>139717973
It is not that simple. AFAIK the marriage give you a quota of the goods of the dead automatically when he dies, even if he didn't make any will.
Also not everyone thinks about when he will die and most people don't make wills.

>posts a study on amerimutt catholics
>hurr u spaghetti catholics are faggots

>>139719556
I posted data on Italians as well, which you simply rejected out of hand with no explanation.

>>139719556
I never said spaghetti catholics are faggots catholics are just faggot apologists.

>>139719618
like >>139717361 said, civil unions are different from marriage
a christian marriage doubles as a civil marriage, but it's not the case for the opposite
the only reason this law got passed was because of our laws on succession

>>139719786
your catholics, maybe

>>139719917
Ok that doesn't detract from the fact that a majority of Italians support gay marriage and it will eventually become law because of increasing support.

>>139720785
did you just read my last post? civil unions are not "marriage", they are still legally binding but you're not going to see a catholic ceremony for a couple of faggots (which the state cannot enforce as it's an entirely different jurisdiction)

>>139721049
The polling asked if people support marriage, not civil unions. Nobody is asking for a Catholic ceremony, they are asking for civil marriage and will get it despite your opposition eventually.

>>139721333
>nobody is asking for a catholic ceremony, they are asking for civil marriage
that's exactly why nobody has anything against it, the state is one thing but you cannot change the rules of a religion because of your faggotry (concept which Americans often struggle with understanding)
>and will get it eventually
they already did a couple of years ago
>despite your opposition
I don't really care about civil marriage tho, the thing here is that people tend to equate 'marriage' with a catholic ceremony unless you specify it, when you put it in those terms nobody really cares

>>139721904
They did not get civil marriage. Learn to read.

>>139721904
Religious marriage and civil marriage are distinct entities.

>>139721997
my bad, with all the bullshit our (((government))) is constantly trying to pass things can get a bit confusing
>>139722018
I know, I just said that here you'll get much more hostility if you simply say 'marriage' instead of 'civil marriage', as the the term is traditionally used for the religious ceremony

>>139722568
No church or priest has ever been forced to perform a gay marriage, anywhere.

>>139716142
>>139716426
Wtf do these people still read the fucking Bible?

>>139722642
and this is the way things should be

>>139715034
Protestants are disgusting
