Rome, January 30 (Adnkronos) – "Homotransphobia occurs daily in Italy, as we report each year with over 20,000 contacts received at the Gay Help Line 800 713 713 and as we can see in the video released online and recorded on the evening of January 22nd in Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, where a group of over 30 people are shouting 'Down with Fags!'" The Gay Center reported the news.
As Gay Center, "we ask the competent authorities to intervene urgently to identify those responsible and launch an investigation to clarify what happened. Even in the absence of a law against homotransphobia, we believe there are grounds for action." "We also invite all institutions at the local and national level to openly condemn these acts and to promote further concrete initiatives to prevent and combat homotransphobia," he concludes. "A collective commitment is needed, involving not only more effective legislative tools, but also widespread cultural and educational action, so that incidents of this kind no longer have a place in our society.".
