"Regarding the Cirinnà bill, I said "civil unions", but in Italy, they're not called that because the law refers to them as "specific social formations". How romantic. [...] Because Catholics don't want us to say "marriage", they've changed the name. Do you want to have the ceremony? Yes, you can have the ceremony, but you have to call it an "elegant parental gathering". The cake? [...] Don't call it a cake; call it a "puppeteered layered cream creation"."
