Paola Turci, the Zan Bill was ditched in the Senate and a part of the parliamentarians stood up screaming and applauding. Some politicians made fun of those who wanted to pass a law against gender hatred by posting teasing on Twitter. What do you think?
“The worst possible. I found the applause and he made fun of him with miserable expressions, unworthy of a people that defines itself as democratic and civil. Human rights belong to everyone and it was really painful to watch that spectacle. Some parties call themselves liberals but I guess they are not at all. On the contrary, we are increasingly aligned with authoritarian European countries. To Russia, to Turkey where there are systems in which I do not recognize myself ».
Those who worked for a long time for the Zan Bill pointed out that the motion to proceed with the examination of the various articles proposed in the decree was approved by secret vote.
“And this is what he says about the situation of the parties. There is an increasingly divided and crumbling center left; this could have been their battle and they did little. I think the secret vote tells us this and the definition of liberal parties is not exact because there are too many different souls inside ».
Many politicians in recent days had spent their time on social media with deep posts, but when it comes to doing the facts …
“In fact, they implement other strategies and the suspicion is that the center left has crumbled and probably most of the center left will flow into another cauldron that we do not yet know.”
Let’s talk about artists. Also in this case although many have said they are pro Ddl Zan when it comes to exposing oneself, things change. It’s so difficult?
«This bill was given a political affiliation but in reality it is not so and we all fell for it a bit. This was a battle of civilization that does not involve just a part of us and this many of my colleagues did not understand and thought that by taking sides they would give themselves a political mark. On social media then if you say something you are automatically lined up, but everything is experienced in a superficial way. People like Fedez always do well to expose themselves and to say something and to commit themselves. For me, the civil commitment is worth our life ».
Art. 3 of our Constitution in the first lines reads: “All citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinions, personal and social conditions”. There would already be everything there.
“In fact, today’s vote went against the Constitution but also against our own knowledge. Those who declare themselves against the Zan bill actually make a declaration of ignorance and join forces with those who think that gays are different and to be prosecuted. Let us remember that in Italy it was only on May 17, 1990 that homosexuality was removed from “mental illnesses”. Perhaps we are not yet ready to accept gender diversity but since I was a child I thought that diversity was an approach towards knowledge. Homophobia is the daughter of ignorance that can only be fought with education. From primary school we should teach children to be respectful of diversity by experiencing inclusion as normal behavior. My niece called me today to say she was very sorry. The new generations are more coherent than us “big ones” and yet I think that Italy is not homophobic but there is a small part that is; what we saw today is not the real country “
