Pope Francis officially declared support for civil unions for same-sex couples for the first time. The Pope made the groundbreaking remarks in a documentary film that was released on Wednesday. Pope Francis said: "Homosexual people have a right to be in a family. Nobody should be thrown out or be made miserable over it". He went on to say: "What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered". The Pope has suggested in the past that he is not against civil unions, but this is the first time he has directly come out in favor of them. The documentary, "Francesco" was released Wednesday in Rome.
Romanian campaigners say they have collected three million signatures on a petition to block same-sex unions in the EU member state.

Recent measures in Hungary to curb what the government calls 'LGBTQ propaganda' have drawn stern criticism from the EU. Hungary’s nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who faces a tougher-than-usual battle for re-election next year, has long been described as “illiberal”. But recent moves to restrict gay and lesbian publications, and to limit references to homosexuality in sex education classes have prompted many to question whether modern-day Hungary is compatible with the EU's values.
The European Commission is contesting a controversial amendment that prohibits the depiction of homosexuality and gender reassignment to children.
