Danilo Giuffrida came out as gay during his military medical exam. Doctors later relayed his coming-out to driver’s-license officials, who then accused him of having a sexual identity disturbance, told him to retake his driving test and, when he passed it, gave him a one-year disabled-person’s license instead of the normal 10-year license.

A court determined the events amounted to ”sexual discrimination” and were unconstitutional. It is likely the first ruling of its sort in Italian history.
