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 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
Magnifique
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.

🤔
Hating the French is considered funny by some, it’s a somewhat big meme in Germany at least. I’ve never found it funny and feel like it hurts the European community.
Deutsch-Französische Freundschaft 💙
The American right seems to be the world’s dumping ground for problematic individuals, e.g. Pierce Morgan and Nigel Farage.
Rupert Murdoch too, unfortunately that cunt is too globally influential for the damage to remain in America
I’ll never forgive Australia for not putting down their invasive pests.
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!
I hope this doesn’t awaken something in me
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.
The picture is from a completely different event, so unfortunately the two things are completely unrelated.
Possibly she would have reacted similarly, who knows…
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.
Die mad, Giorgia.
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.
Is hurdle jumping an Olympic sport? I want to see those bag slappers.
Nude fencing would be lit
Nude wrestling.
Though, based on some research I’ve done, nude wrestling is hottest when they start clothed but need to remove the clothes from their opponent as part of the match.
Research…
😏
Give her a moment, let her get acquainted with the reality at large.
She’s just envious, leave her be to wistfully contemplate what could have been…
Nooo not the kissies between women 😭
She’s in shambles
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.
“If I can’t have it, noone can!”
But you can hav—
“I SAID NOONE CAN HAVE IT!!!”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.
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
They want order and structure above all things it seems. “These are the rules, I have followed them all of my life. I’ve been told that I’m battling a supernatural force and I’ve been winning. You don’t even try to fight it. You embrace it. I’m worried that god might not exist to punish you, so I want to punish you on his behalf. My children see you and they may think to themselves, “maybe I don’t have to follow these rules.” I’m afraid to face my neighbors and fellow churchgoers with a kid who sees your carefree, sinful lifestyle and chooses to embrace freedom over suffering. Life is suffering, and if you won’t suffer willingly then I’ll make you suffer.”
I don’t know. I can’t get in anybody’s head, but I’ve known some seriously repressed and miserable people in my life.
I knew a guy growing up, his dad was a preacher. When we were about 13-14 he asked me, “angryseal, have you ever given thought to being gay?” I told him I hadn’t, not seriously. He’s never said anything else about it but he is furiously homophobic today.

Ouch. That is just… so tragic, and so stupid. I wonder if he was still processing. Obviously nothing to do with you, but if some adult in his life had just had the audacity to say like “I don’t know I don’t think there’s anything wrong with gay people” or somesuch. Well, you wonder if things could have gone differently for him.
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.
No one was blaming anyone for anything… other then assholes for being assholes.
The point of the comment above yours went waaaaay over your head. Read it again.
Aside from that, you are correct, some people are just awful, but they didn’t start out that way from the jump, usually.
fascist creep is repressed queer therefore hateful of visible lesbian romance is blaming homophobia on repressed queer people.
That is certainly one of the sentences ever written.
Well, rather than gloating about how stupid I am and failing to uphold the standards of behaviour of the community you registered at. Why don’t you explain what you think the person was referring to wrt envy etc? Or are you more interested in mockery than being helpful?
You seemed to not understand what they were saying, which was that Meloni is sitting there with deep seated rage and jealousy. She has repressed her feelings her entire life. She has even persecuted others for not repressing themselves. But here, at the Olympics, in front of everyone, here are 2 people just being themselves, as she longs to be. Seeing this brings up deep seated rage and jealousy.
So what people are noticing is that that expression is not disgust. That expression is jealousy and rage. I would go so far as to say that to me it looks like she is crying on the inside.
