Rights, the LGBTE community of Treviso organizes a sit-in after the stop at the Zan Ddl

Meeting on Sunday 31st at 4 pm in Piazza Santa Maria dei Battuti to ask for respect for rights and the elimination of discrimination

TREVISO. Omobofia, the Senate crushes the Zan bill. The Treviso community reacts. The Treviso LGBTE Coordination promotes a sit-in on Sunday 31 October at 4 pm in Piazza Santa Maria dei Battuti in Treviso

Only a few hours after the vote that destroyed the long-awaited law against homobitransphobia, known as Ddl Zan, in the Senate of the Republic, the Treviso LGBT community, wounded by the choice of parliamentarians, immediately moved to promote, as is happening in many other Italian cities, a sit-in to make strong the condemnation for the indifference of the political class towards the progress of rights and the elimination of discrimination.

The expression of dissent, through the action of the Treviso LGBTE Coordination, will gather on Sunday 31 October at 4 pm in Piazza Santa Maria dei Battuti all those who trusted in the entry into force of the law, from the political forces of the city to the associations of the territory up to the union and the broader citizenship.

The Honorable Alessandro Zan was a guest of the capital of the Treviso area precisely to present the bill in May on the occasion of the Q.Pido Equality Festival organized by the Treviso LGBTE Coordination.

“Many Treviso and Treviso people were waiting for the passing of this law – explains Giorgio Romanello of the LGBTE Coordination of Treviso -, they were waiting for it because this is a battle for the recognition of rights, equality between people, for the protection of those who incur discrimination which affects everyone and everyone, not just lesbians, homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals, but each of us. Once again, politics has played its game in spite of the real needs of citizens – said Romanello -, we look at the country and the class that governs it and we see an increasingly unbridgeable distance “.

“We are tired of being considered second-rate – continued Romanello -; measures to combat violence, to break down discrimination, to prevent the cultural transmission of the derogatory stereotype are needed, it is undeniable. We make our identity a sense of community belonging, with all the Treviso and Treviso people, as always. We are tired of not receiving equal treatment from those we vote, from those who decide our lives, our work, our health, our taxes, our pensions, our freedom of expression. This is the message that we want to renew next Sunday in Piazza Santa Maria dei Battuti, at 4 pm, Treviso among the Treviso people, in the center of our capital ”.
