Gay men from Italy who are members of the association Arcigay say they are to ask for asylum in Spain because of the ‘increasing homophobia’ in their country.

They are to present their request for asylum before the Spanish Consulate in Milan, and have called a national demonstration in Rome on October 10.

‘We want to live in a civilized country’ they say, highlighting recent attacks on people attending gay venues in Italy.

Please make sure you abide by the forum rules if you are posting a reply!!

Nigel,
      you have taken out comments from the Forum re; Gays, which were meant to be light hearted comments not homophobic criticisms, these comments could have been made to lots of subjects and have been accepted but because they touched the Gay community they were taken out. Please do not take out the democracy that makes this Forum as good as it is.
