“"For us, the cup has been full for a long time, yet this Melonian right attacks us daily with regurgitations of the Ventennio and crusades of hatred," declared Gabriele Piazzoni, general secretary of Arcigay. He continues: "The now former mayoral candidate of Torre del Greco, Carmine Alfano, wants us in the crematoria. And if anyone asks him what he says, he replies that it's 'goliardia'. Stuff that's meant to entertain, even make people laugh. Meanwhile, in Parliament, the race continues to create loopholes to imagine the incarceration of homosexuals. For the League, gays who have used surrogacy should be jailed for up to ten years. They couldn't wait, you might think. Because given the context, it would seem that prison for homosexuals is the goal, and not opposition to a procreative practice. This right-wing movement is frightening, we will never tire of saying it: it toys with the practices of Nazi-fascism and imagines a world of fathers in prison simply for being fathers and homosexuals. Against the right-wing movement of crematoria and prison for gays, we will fill the streets of nine cities today, from north to south. Join us, everyone; our voices are already roaring," concludes Piaz.zones.
