Civil Rights and Family Day

In Italy these days, there is an ongoing debate about civil unions of same-sex couples.
Italy is one of the few European countries to not have a law that regulates these cases.
The Italian Senate is finally discussing a bill, which would remedy to this lack of legislation that impedes many to exercise their own right to start a family.
Saturday, February 30 could be a step forward in civil rights. However, many Italians have demonstrated against the Cirinná bill at the Circus Maximus in Rome.
The day was called Family Day and the motto was, "It's wrong even though it becomes law." The demonstration was supported by the main opposition parties and the whole Catholic community, which weighed heavily on this debate.
The conservative Catholic associations and some media have claimed that the rally was attended by almost two million people. Certainly, there were fewer people than that! Probably not even seventy thousand.
As the Family day went on, some big companies have shown support for the civil rights bill and were against any form of discrimination.
Ikea, for example, tweetted this words : "we are open to all families" and "to start a family, you don't need instructions."

MY OWN OPINION
As an Italian, I will be very disappointed if the bill doesn't get approved, although I'm not gay.
I don't really understand the reason behind protesting to deny a right. Usually, it's the exact opposite.


Comments:  I enjoyed reading and correcting your note.  People find all kinds of reasons to protest nowadays. Many people get offended very easily and unfortunately, many just don't want to give others the right to live.  Your English is quite good.  Keep it up!  :D

I think you are a very progressive thinker and, speaking as a gay teenager, I completely support your view. Although I live in America, where gay marriage is legal, I want to one day live in Italy. I hope the bill gets approved.
