Homotransphobia, the bill is in the chamber. Arcigay: "The first obstacles have been overcome, but the road remains uphill."“

Bologna, July 13, 2021 – “The introduction of the anti-homotransphobia bill into the Senate chamber on the very first day has led to a theater of tactics and stratagems, far from honorable, which tells us a lot about the way a segment of our political class approaches the issue of human, civil, and social rights,” said Gabriele Piazzoni, general secretary of Arcigay. He continued: “Fortunately, today we have avoided the risk of the bill returning to the Justice Committee, where it has been held up for months. hostage to President Ostellari's games. However, the relief is short-lived, because already from this first day, filled with boos and howls in the chamber, we can glimpse the many obstacles the bill will encounter in the days and weeks to come. Therefore, we thank those in the chamber who are fighting with us and for us, and we renew our appeal. to the consciences of senators, both male and female, so that they do not listen to the siren songs of low-ball compromise,” concludes Piazzoni.
