Italy has recognised same-sex civil unions since 5 June 2016,providing same-sex couples with almost all of the legal protections enjoyed by opposite-sex married couples. A bill to allow such unions,as well as gender-neutral registered partnerships,was approved by the Senate on 25 February 2016 and the Chamber of Deputies on 11 May and signed into law by the Italian President on 20 May of the same year. The law was published in the official gazette the next day and took effect on 5 June 2016. Before this,several regions had supported a national law on civil unions and some municipalities passed laws providing for civil unions,though the rights conferred by these civil unions varied from place to place.
Lesbian,gay,bisexual,transgender (LGBT) rights in Italy significantly advanced in the 21st century,although LGBT people still face various legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. According to ILGA-Europe's 2021 report,the status of LGBT rights in Italy is the worst among Western European countries –such as still not recognizing same-sex marriage,lacking nationwide discrimination protections for goods and services,as well as not granting to same-sex couples parental rights,such as adoption and IVF.
