2.802 throughout Italy in the first eight months after the law, they were 2,433 at the end of December. There are 369 new gay weddings that have been added to the total between January and late March of 2017, in what is an unexpected “flop” for the radical shic and liberals, following a rather fierce battle.
The population in Italy is 59.9 million, consisting of 16.6 million households. The total new marriages were 195,000, about 10,000 less each year despite the new registered marriages of the “LGBTQI+” community (2802, precisely).
Legislative decrees did not particularly affect the numbers, even though they were designed to put gay marriages on the run and also highlight a split between North, Center and South, where people of the same sex “get married very little”.
At the top of the ranking there is Milan, where the gay weddings were 354, followed by 331 in Rome, 174 in Turin and Florence with 123 cases. And if we consider the regions, it is always Lombardy the most prominent, with 669 marriages against the 376 of Lazio and 293 of Tuscany.
Talks Flavio Romani, national president of the Arcigay (“Italian Communists Gay Recreational Association”): “How many couples are there? Almost three thousand? That means six thousand homosexuals, or better “genderfluid”, not to exclude anyone, in eight months, achieved happiness. The number of gay marriages is not as high as we expected, but from our point of view it is still a success.”
