Several social media posts shared over recent weeks — some racking up millions of views and thousands of likes and shares — allege that Italy has just introduced a law aimed at banning same-sex couples from having children via surrogacy.
Many of the posts contain words such as "Breaking" and a siren emoji to suggest that the measure has just been introduced, while others invite social media users to share whether they support it, prompting a slew of anti-LGBT responses.
