tapped as Donald Trump’s running mate.“The entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. How does that make any sense when we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t have a direct stake in it?” Vance said.Vance made similar comments at a conservative conference decrying Buttigieg as part of the “childless Left,” even asserting that single people, or people without natural-born children should have less of a say in voting.Noting that Buttigieg and his husband Chasten have two children whom they adopted in 2021, and that Harris has two stepchildren, Collins asked Buttigieg how he would respond to Vance’s statements.“The really sad thing is [that] he said that after Chasten and I had been through a fairly heartbreaking setback in our adoption journey,” Buttigieg told Collins.

The New York Times.Meloni — a single mother who never married the father of her daughter — hypocritically has campaigned on the importance of promoting “traditional family values.”She and her fellow conservatives have railed against “gender ideology” and the “LGBT lobby” at political events, stating that children should only be raised in two-parent, heterosexual households. Last year, Meloni’s interior minister ordered local governments to stop transcribing certificates of children born abroad through surrogacy, citing a court ruling — which is currently being challenged.As a result, some children with same-sex parents have been denied access to citizenship, public schools, health care, and other benefits and services.Following the interior minister’s decree, prosecutors across Italy began contesting the birth certificates of all children born to same-sex parents — regardless of whether they were conceived through surrogacy or not — with the aim of erasing the names of non-biological parents from those birth certificates.

TMZ.The site reported Monday that the music mogul — who was recently arrested and charged for sex trafficking — was never the legal guardian of the person he alleged was his adopted daughter back in 2020.Sources told the outlet that the video from four years ago where Combs, 54, said that he was Ava’s adopted father was “a skit” and “has been overblown by concerned fans.”In a 2020 Instagram Live session, Combs introduced Ava to his followers and told her to say her full name: “Ava Combs Baroni.”Combs then said he “adopted” the “white child,” as Ava — while other men appeared in the background — jokingly explained that she was “on the streets” before “Papa Combs decided that he was going to be a caring man.”“So then, he saw me and decided to pick me up and said to come inside and stay with his kids,” Ava said, revealing that she’s “basically sisters” with Combs’ twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila.Combs — who has seven children — said that Ava’s story was “a little bit borderline suspect,” before claiming that he adopted her like Madonna, Charlize Theron and Sandra Bullock adopted their kids. The “Coming Home” rapper added that he got “permission” from Ava’s mother to allegedly adopt her.

Agence France-Presse that they are moving due to the far-right government’s crackdown on LGBTQ rights, especially the parental rights of same-sex couples.Civil unions were legalized in Italy in 2016, but the law concerning the parental rights of same-sex couples, particularly non-biological parents, is muddy. Encouraged by several court rulings, local mayors had begun registering biological and non-biological parents on birth certificates over the past few years.However, that was before Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni‘s government — led by the populist, neo-fascist party Brothers of Italy — began cracking down on the practice.Earlier this year, Meloni’s interior minister ordered local governments to stop transcribing certificates of children born abroad through surrogacy, citing a recent court ruling.In response, prosecutors across Italy began contesting the birth certificates of children born to same-sex parents — regardless of whether they were conceived through surrogacy or not.

The New York Times.Justices authored four different opinions, concurring and dissenting in part with the overall court’s finding.Some of the justices were sympathetic to the petitioners, arguing that transgender people can marry other transgender people — so long as one partner identifies as a man and another as a woman — and offering other glimmers of hope to same-sex marriage proponents.For instance, Chief Justice Dhananjaya Yeshwant Chandrachud, as part of a two-member minority, wrote that “the right to choose one’s partner and the right to recognition of that union” should be recognized by the government, even if that union does not constitute marriage.

WCCB about Fezco, the dog who was abandoned by his owners for humping another male dog. “It was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard,” Nichols said of the reason given for leaving Fezco with Stanly County Animal Protective Services. “That’s just pack behavior.” He said he and Winn looked at each other after hearing the news story and decided to adopt the abandoned dog.Nichols told TMZ that he felt a connection to the dog, who was being unfairly discriminated against, just as he and Winn have been in their own lives. According to the The Charlotte Observer, Nichols then drove about an hour from their home to Albemarle, located about 40 miles northeast of Charlotte, to adopt the dog, who he and Winn have renamed Oscar, after Oscar Wilde, a gay Irish poet and playwright in the early 1890s.Nichols said the application wanted to make sure that whoever adopted Oscar would be committed to nursing him back to health.
