Marta's story: from homophobia in her family and at work to "no-gender" at school
Homo-bi-transphobia has always manifested itself, even in our country, as violence that is overt or in the form of many small and large events that occur in a subtle and constant way in everyday life of LGBTI people, in the family, at school, at work, on the street, and in many other contexts. But in the last year, homo-bi-transphobia has taken an organized form in the so-called anti-gender movement.
Marta was kicked out of her home at 15 because she was a lesbian.Her parents, whose father was then a high school principal, didn't accept her homosexuality. She risked missing a year of school, and was able to return home after a year of "exile" only by pretending she was no longer a lesbian and hiding her partner to convince them she was "cured." This was 20 years ago. Today Marta is a happily openly lesbian girl. Two years ago, she suffered and reported discriminatory actions at work from colleagues who resented the fact that Marta makes no secret of her homosexuality and that she is an LGBTI activist. Marta has decided to get involved to help others and prevent others from suffering as she did: today she is an activist for the local Arcigay committee, and works in education in schools. On the contrary, his father is directly involved in the so-called "NO-GENDER" movement“ and works, as a former high school principal, to ensure that schools close their doors to educational activities against homo-bi-transphobia and homophobic bullying: the homophobia of 20 years earlier, when Marta was kicked out of her home, has today found its own organised, political, cultural and social space in the no-gender (or anti-gender) movement, a galaxy of groups and individuals that fights actively promotes every form of inclusion and openness of society and institutions towards LGBTI people and that It brings back to the fore sexist and homophobic worldviews that were thought to be outdated.

Don't know who to give your 8×1000 to?
THE'’eight per thousand It is the tax quota that the State, based on the choices made in the tax returns, distributes only between himself and the religious denominations. Arcigay supports the choice of 8×1000 in favor of Waldensian Church – Union of Methodist and Waldensian Churches.
Why the 8×1000 to the Waldensian Church?
- Because also If you don't choose who to allocate it to, your 8×1000 will still be distributed between the State and the Religious Confessions in proportion to the choices expressed by others. For example, The Catholic Church wins approximately 801 TP3T of the votes each year expressed (and therefore the amounts) even if it was chosen by fewer than the 40% taxpayers. Your non-choice actually increases that 80%.
- Why the Waldensian Church decided to use the 8×1000 funds solely for welfare, social and cultural projects or for projects in developing countries to be carried out in collaboration with international religious and secular organizations. The Waldensian Church declares that do not use the funds for religious purposes – religious and spiritual activities of the Church, construction of places of worship or for the maintenance of pastors.
- Why such welfare, social and cultural projects:
- they also come from members of civil society who have no relations with the Waldensian Church;
- also concern LGBTI issues (Arcigay has in fact benefited from this in recent years with its programmes ProTEST And StayAPP!);
- They are financed on the basis of a transparent project which results in rankings.
