The rainbow flags return to color the Italian streets. This Saturday there are eight cities involved in the parades for LGBT rights: Bologna, La Spezia, Perugia, Ragusa, Teramo, Albano Laziale, Aversa and Favignana.
In Bologna after the controversy also the policemen parade. Three activists from Polis Aperta, the association of LGBT + people belonging to the police and law enforcement agencies, participated in the Pride without banners but with the association’s T-shirts that, on their backs, had the words “Differently uniform“.
The organizers had said they did not like the presence of the association that gathers the police forces. “We start from the meeting in person and not on social networks – said Michela Pascali, of Polis Aperta – three of us came wearing only our t-shirts so as not to arouse discontent, we keep a low profile and we are open and open to confrontation. discrimination against LGBT + people within law enforcement, and we fight these phenomena from within, “he added.
Tens of thousands of people marched in the Emilian capital to the cry of “Revolt is desire”, claiming the right of the LGBT + community and discriminated minorities to “cross and live peacefully in public spaces”, but also harshly condemning the sentence of the US Court of Cassation which cancels the right to abortion in United States.
Zan: ‘On the bill we are willing to mediate but not to the downside’
“On the bill Bill Zan we are ready to mediate and speak with the other forces of Parliament, but we do not accept downward changes”. The honorable Alessandro Zan said this during the Bologna Pride. “The law was passed in the House after a lot of mediation. We do not reject mediation, which is the salt of democracy, but we do not accept downward changes on people’s skin,” he explained. “I am thinking for example of the fact of removing gender identity, a term that protects the most marginalized people and the most killed, trans people like Chloe Bianco. We cannot accept this”. “An anti-discrimination law – he concluded – cannot become discriminatory”.
The proximity of Arcygay to Oslo
“We set up our parades with thoughts of pain and closeness to LGBT + people Oslo, “said Gabriele Piazzoni, Arcigay’s general secretary.”Homotransphobia is a creeping poison that intoxicates the social tissues and that we have always denounced – he adds – Today the news, like 6 years ago in Orlando, throws hatred in our faces as a strategy of terror, which claims victims and sows fear. Arcigay embraces the LGBT + community of Oslo, the victims, the injured, the family members, those who were ready to take their pride to the streets and today they are forced and forced to live in fear. Today our Prides will parade for them too “, she concludes.
