A gay couple from Toronto, BJ Barone and Frankie Nelson, have won a lawsuit in Italy after their son's birth photo was used without their consent in an anti-surrogacy campaign by Italy's ruling right-wing political party, Fratelli d'Italia. The couple, who had hired a photographer to capture the heartwarming image, were supported by Italian LGBTQ+ law firm Gay Lex in their legal battle. The court ordered Fratelli d'Italia to pay Barone and Nelson 10,000 Euros each for the "offensive use of their image." The couple sees this as a victory for LGBTQ+ rights and a message against hate. However, the party has appealed the decision, and the photographer, Lindsay Foster, is facing court and administrative costs for her own lawsuit against Fratelli d'Italia.
