The event will also be attended by the boys who are part of the Gay Migrant Group of Arcigay L'Approdo. Alex, a 32-year-old Ecuadorian, tells us that the group was born in October: “Our goal is to integrate with Italian people, it is integration. We welcome young people of all nationalities, especially South Americans. I feel good in Genoa, even though some young people sometimes encounter difficulties due to double discrimination because they're gay and foreign: that's why we want to meet to support each other and get along better together.”
