Gay couples can use Juliet balcony for civil unions
The 'Romeo and Juliet balcony' in Verona, Italy has been made available to same-sex couples seeking civil unions. The balcony forms part of a house which was owned by the family believed to have inspired the Capulets, to which Juliet belonged. The city council recently said municipal venues available to heterosexual couples getting married could be used by same-sex couples.
