The Chamber of Deputies voted July 26. The result was 250 votes in favour and 293 votes opposed. Gay rights supporters have called on the European Union to intervene. Gay couples in Italy cannot marry or adopt children.
Prime minister Silvio Berlusconi opposes gay rights. He has an extensive record of criminal allegations--including mafia collusion, false accounting, tax fraud, corruption and bribery of police officers and judges--and sexual scandals.
