Reply to MEPs condemn Italy’s move to stop registering children of same-sex parents | Decision against Milan city council is part of broader government attack on LGBTQ+ people, says European parliament by misana123

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 81%. (I'm a bot)

> The European parliament has condemned Italy's conservative government after it demanded that a council stop registering the children of same-sex parents, in its first move to restrict LGBTQ+ rights since taking power.

> In an amendment to a 2022 report put forward by Renew Europe, a liberal and centrist group, the MEPs urged Italy to "Immediately rescind its decision", arguing that the move "Will inevitably lead to discrimination against not only same-sex couples but also primarily their children" and that it was "a direct breach of children's rights" under a UN convention.

> Milan was forced to stop registering the children of gay parents after the interior ministry said it was up to the courts to rule on such a decision.

Reply to comment by Contagious_Cure in China calls US debt trap accusation 'irresponsible' by BubsyFanboy

To add on this I’m gonna use my sources which show which countries owe the most debt to China and tell you where they rank on gdp. So the countries that owe the most debt to China.

“Pakistan ($27.4 billion of external debt to China), Angola (22.0 billion), Ethiopia (7.4 billion), Kenya (7.4 billion) and Sri Lanka (7.2 billion) held the biggest debts to China”

ranking of countries gdp

Sri Lanka: 65 Maldives: 150 Pakistan: 40 Ethiopia: 66 Kenya: 67 Angola: 57 Laos: 116

Just for reference Ukraine is ranked 60 on that list, and is considered the poorest country in Europe.

Reply to comment by Ok-Bumblebee9289 in ‘Vulkan files’ leak reveals Putin’s global and domestic cyberwarfare tactics by pipsdontsqueak

They did.

That doesn't mean they protected you.

Imagine you were the first country to invent a handgun. You also have the idea of making body armor, but you haven't yet because there are no handguns shooting at you.

Then someone steals your handgun. You quickly make body armor. It isn't perfect but it works really well.

Then someone 3 streets over gets shot. Because they weren't aiming at you. You have handguns. And body armor.

They'd rather go after someone exploitable.

Reply to comment by Fluitenkruid in LGBTQ summit calls on Japan to enact anti-discrimination law by Saltedline

I’d argue it’s an idea just like heterosexuality and either could be repressed. They could have children via donors but that’s the problem considering they are not having children to begin with. I’d imagine even homosexual Japanese couples would contribute to the birth rate issue since it appears to be a Japanese issue. However, promoting this is also a risk if more people adopt this orientation as fundamentally no children can be bore.
