ROME. “Gay is ok.” “Now the goal rights.” It is the unanimous cry of the LGBT associations that comes from Piazza del Popolo in Rome. The rainbow families are asking the government to finalize the bill on civil unions, placing the adoption and marriage: “What made you just a small step and even hurt.”
Forty thousand people in all, according to organizers. According to another ten thousand. The fact is that many, came from all over Italy, have filled a good part of the square. With some nuances of tone, everyone agrees that it is true that after 30 years there is finally a law, the compromise found in the Senate is not enough and that the objective to be achieved as soon as it is full equality. “All men are born free and equal in dignity and rights. It is an extract of the Bible Gay – is shouted from the stage – is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Dear Minister Alfano. “
But Unhappy is also the people who defends the traditional family. Massimo Gandolfini, the Family Day spokesman, announces a new event: “We are ready to a new mobilization against a
despicable law.” In Piazza del Popolo among many rainbow flags and banners against the politicians “homophobic” , there are many children with two fathers or two mothers. As a Roman couple of men, one holding the hand of a blonde girl of 4 years with the rainbow painted on the cheeks and the other a double pram with twins two years were all born in Canada thanks to the gestation for others (or surrogacy). “We only paid medical and legal fees – state – and nothing else. We need to focus full equality – they say – because the same stepchild adoption does not guarantee equality. The children still have no relationship with their grandparents and they are not brothers to each other, even if they bring, such as ours, the same last name. ”
From the stage the President of Rainbow Families, Marilena Grassadonia, invites people to “continue to fight hard until the broadcast of our indignation not overwhelm this policy. It is unthinkable that in 2016, in Italy, will face a law that fails to protect children – says – ask only duties towards their children birthed with the belly or the heart. No one can prevent you from continuing our battle. “
The message is delivered to the Government is that the law passed in the Senate,” is at the bottom “, but it must go ahead. “From tomorrow many rainbow families will join civilly, but for us it will not be a party. It is just a starting point – says Gabriele Piazzoni, national secretary of Arcigay – and not the end. We must resolutely take the road toward full equality of rights. “
Even for Fabrizio Marrazzo, spokesman for the Gay Center,” the LGBT community is firm on the fact that the law is only a first step, but not it’s enough”. Francesca Chiavacci, Arci national president, warns: “The result achieved with the law passed in the Senate is not yet safe. We need to prevent the House from being out of other jokes like those we saw in the Senate. “
In the square was the terminus even some politician, including Luigi Manconi the Democratic Party, Stefano Fassina, Nicola Fratoianni and Arturo Scotti the Italian Left
who promised battle with strokes of the House amendments to change the text. Of ‘road still to be done “also spoke the leader of the CGIL, Susanna Camusso. Among the crowd, as well as many gay couples, even the singers Emma Brown and Paola Turci.
