From Towleroad, news that a Uruguayan man who married an Italian man in Spain, where gay marriage is legal, obtained legal residency papers in Italy:
On the basis of their union, the Uruguayan had applied for a residence permit in Italy, for which foreigners can qualify, either through marriage to an Italian, or through obtaining legal employment.
The residence permit granted to Rafael represents “the first document in Italian history which effectively recognizes the family status of homosexual couples,” said rights group Associazione Radicale Certi Diritti which supported the two men in their legal battle.
Great news in case we ever needed to go that route…
