Cardinal Ruini's words immediately find their first trivial vulgarization in the words of Pierferdinando Casini.
The appeal in favor of the family becomes the reason, for the white-flowered politician, for yet another attack against the rights of homosexual people, as opposed to "normal" ones.
Are the families reconstituted by him, Berlusconi, Bossi, and Fini on the ruins of previous divorces "normal" for Casini, and in compliance with CEI directives?
Honorable Member, if you don't want to continue being portrayed by satire as a lackey of others more powerful, stop hypocritically and exploitatively raising issues like gay adoption, which no one in Italy is putting on the political agenda. Instead, explain why your party strenuously opposed an amendment to the Workers' Statute that would protect workers from dismissals based on their sexual orientation.
Please convince us, Mr. President, that your words do not conceal a cynical exploitation of the homophobic sentiments of a segment of the population to snatch a few more crumbs of power.
