Man lost licence because he was gay
An Italian man who lost his driving licence because he was gay has won it back on appeal.
The 23-year-old man, not named for legal reasons, is now demanding more than £300,000 in damages.
The man had been kicked out of the army after it emerged that he was gay, Italian daily Corriere della Sera reported.
Officials said at the time that as he was not "suitable" to be in the army because he was gay, it meant he had also not been "suitable" to hold a driving licence.
But a court in Catania ruled the 23-year-old could have his licence back.
The man has said he will now sue for £330,000 damages.
Odd stuff I must say, lol.
