  Kevin Spacey, center, leaves court, Monday, Oct. 17 (Yuki Iwamura/Associated Press) NEW YORK — An emotional Kevin Spacey testified in a New York courtroom Oct.

17 that he never made a sexual pass at the actor Anthony Rapp, who has sued for millions of dollars in damages, claiming the Academy Award-winning actor tried to take him to bed when he was 14.

Repeatedly, Spacey denied Rapp’s claims that a then-26-year-old Spacey picked him up like a groom does a bride after a 1986 party at his Manhattan apartment and put him on his bed before lying on top of him.

Rapp testified earlier in a civil trial in which he accuses Spacey of assault and battery that he squirmed out from underneath an inebriated Spacey in the fully clothed encounter before fleeing, only to have Spacey follow him to the door and ask if he was sure he wanted to leave. “They are not true,” Spacey said of the allegations, first made in 2017 in an interview with Buzzfeed.

News Family World rules Italian Court Rules in Favor of Same-Sex Parents
An Italian court ruled that same-sex parents have the right not to be labeled “mother” or “father” on the ID paperwork of their children.A judge in Rome ruled in favor of a lesbian couple who had launched a legal challenge against the regulations for IDs for minors, Reuters reports.Parents or legal guardians must be referenced in those documents and until 2019 they were identified as “parents.” However, when the new far-right Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was the interior minister, the rule was changed to require a list for “father” and “mother.”In the Rome case, one of the women had given birth to a girl who was adopted by the woman’s partner. They were legally recognized as the girl’s parents.The judge said that forcing one of them to be labeled “father” didn’t make sense, according to Reuters.While the decision came in September, it was only recently publicized by the LGBTQ+ rights group Famiglie Arcobaleno (Rainbow Families).The news wire notes that this ruling applies to only this case."Until the law is changed, it is up to the initiative of individuals" to challenge the ID requirements, Egizia Mondini, a spokeswoman for Famiglie Arcobaleno said, Reuters reports.It’s a ruling that goes against Italy’s new right-wing government.
