| Description | THE internet naming of 10 Italian politicians as homosexual has caused a furore, with the country's main gay rights group calling it a "wretched rag-bag of gossip" that did more harm than good.
The list, including right-wing ministers and members of parliament belonging to Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's party, was published today on a US-based weblog.
The blog's authors said the aim was "to bring a bit of justice into a country where people have no way of defending themselves against daily insults and attacks from hypocritical politicians".
"We decided to start with these 10 names to show clearly how hypocrisy and discrimination rule in the Italian parliament."
The blog said the first target was parties that voted against a law condemning homophobia, which was thrown out for the second time in July. |
