Italian far-right government limits parental rights of same-sex couples - Gay rights activists on Tuesday denounced as homophobic moves by Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni’s far-right-led government to limit recognition of parental rights to the biological parent only in the case of same-sex parents.

Post was originally titled "Lesbian Kiss at the Olympics / Far Right Italian Prime Minister Reaction" but the pictures are unlikely to have been taken at the same event.

I know that Alice Weidel, co-chairwoman of the german right-wing extremist party AfD is openly gay and in a relationship with a woman from Sri Lanka. Fun fact: while she actively tries to abolish same-sex marriage in Germany, her partner advocated for the introduction of same-sex marriage in switzerland.
- ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ what the fuck...?
  
  Welcome to German politics. You thought the orange boi was weird...
  Maximilian Krah, the now more or less disgraced frontrunner for the EU elections has 7 kids from like 4 different women. The AfD still explicitly claims to be in favour of traditional families
  
  What's surprising? It's 2024 and you still haven't understand that politicians are a bunch of corrupted criminals who's job is to lie?
- What kind of cognitive dissonance is going on here? FFS she probably flogs herself every night too.
  
  Just doing it for the power I guess
  
  *cognitive dissonance, but I totally agree. How does the far right insulate themselves in such non-realities
  
  Nigel Farange is anti immigrant and is married to an inmigrant.
  
  The believer sort of stuff
- I don't understand how conservative people keep falling for this stuff
  
  Hint: it's the ignorance / under-education.
- Our own far right leader Geert Wilders, who wants to exit the EU and limit immigration from islamic countries and central/eastern Europe, is married to a woman from Hungary.
  Whenever a rightwing politician is yelling something is bad, chances are they are complicit of it themselves.
- She deserves love like everyone. But she doesn't deserve to be elected.
- Switzerland doesn't have same sex marriage? I'm surprised.
  
  Women were not allowed to vote in some parts of Switzerland before 1990.
  
  It does now, since 2022.
- Wut?
I love all the pearl clutching this Olympic season is causing. Good job France.
- Ce n'est pas grand-chose, mais c'est un travail honnête
- What sort of world are we in where I'm cheering on France?
  Sorry about the racist/xenophobic/religious/batshit crazy American shitholes, world... They only represent 20-40% of us. They're very loud... We can hear them more then you, trust me. We aren't fond of them.
  
  The American right seems to be the world's dumping ground for problematic individuals, e.g. Pierce Morgan and Nigel Farage.
  
  What sort of world are we in where I'm cheering on France?
  Sorry about the racist/xenophobic...
  🤔
Gay stuff in the Olympics, eh? Sounds like they are taking The Games back to their roots! 👍🏻
- I bet viewership will go up if they bring back the old rule about everyone competing nude.
  
  That would make the Olympics way cooler. I'd watch the shit out of nude mountain biking and nude BMX.
Fuck Meloni. Fuck the far right.
- She's pretty enough but that attitude...
  
  I will never pass up the opportunity to remind people that nobody has seen Marjorie Taylor Green and Dog the Bounty Hunter in the same place at the same time.
  I contend that Marjorie Taylor Greene is Dog the Bounty Hunter in drag. Prove me wrong, MTG!
She’s just envious, leave her be to wistfully contemplate what could have been…
Her eyes genuinely look like they're watering up too. Considering the expression, I doubt it's a wholesome tearjerking moment, but I still struggle to grasp the idea of someone becoming so full of eye watering rage over two people showing love to each other.
I'm sure there are worse timelines but this definitely isn't one of the good ones.
- To me it looks like she wants in, she's been denying these feelings in herself for so long she that the freedom to express love like that, so freely and without hesitation must be bliss just outside of reach for her.
  
  Did we all just forget that her partner was caught setting up a threesome with another woman? Just because he was only caught once does not mean it was the only time. I think Georgia loves a fishy Friday.
- The picture is from a completely different event, so unfortunately the two things are completely unrelated.
  Possibly she would have reacted similarly, who knows...
That is the look of someone desperately trying to not be turned on at the exact moment they realize they're fighting a losing battle.
- I'm hoping her head will just pop.
  
  She should just give in & go get gangbang fisted by a dykes on bikes club to deal with her internalized issues.
Jealousy
as a cishet, from the bottom of my heart: seethe. don't even cope, which you clearly can't. just die alone seething.
- I know what cis means but what is cishet?
  
  Cis = cisgender.
  Het = heterosexual.
  
  Het is hetero. Not gay/bi/etc.
HOW DARE YOU EXIST AND COMPLICATE MY WORLD
- *world view
  Absolutely nothing about lgbtq people actually has an effect on their day to day lives.
  
  oh it absolutely does, it makes them have to constantly confront the fact that they're not a perfectly straight and uncomplicated being, that almost everyone has more nuance to their identity than that, and it makes them very uncomfortable and afraid.
  the right wing is full of people who are suffused with internalized bigotry and are constantly bottling up their true identity, it's sad as fuck
I didn't know kissing was in the Olympics this year.
"If I can't have it, noone can!"
But you can hav---
"I SAID NOONE CAN HAVE IT!!!"
I hope this doesn't awaken something in me
Look at the jealousy in Meloni's eyes
- That was my first thought as well... That glare is a case study in deep seeded anger over having repressed one's true being for a lifetime and then seeing others have what you thought wasn't possible.
  
  please stop blaming gay people for homophobia. Some people are just awful.
Nooo not the kissies between women 😭
She's in shambles
Die mad, Giorgia.
I'm pretty sure the gay Greek athletes of the past are looking down at this with joy, so whats the PMs problem?
- Jealousy?
  
  I was thinking the same thing:
  "How dare she‽ If I can't publicly be myself then nobody else should be able to either!"
I hope she loses her citizenship and wins again against italy for a country that doesn't hate her
- You can just get another passport and choose which country to compete for...
  Aaaanyway, I doubt the whole country hates her, in fact despite being a catholic country and generally right wing, Italian population proved in many cases to be more progressive when their own interest was touched. The most interesting examples are the referenda on divorce and abortion.
Give her a moment, let her get acquainted with the reality at large.
You are giving free ads and exposure to the olympics and italian fascists.
- Your comments are giving an engagement boost to a post giving free ads and exposure to the Olympics and Italian fascists.
  
  I downvoted the post and commented only because no one else already pointed out that this is pretty much propaganda. By the time i commented this post it was already in the front page.

  You posted this, you should be the first one to shut up the fuck. If you want to do anything at all delete the post and stop give fascists and the olympics any exposure.
