 Wed Dec 20, 2006 4:55 pm Furor in Italy over "gay nativity" in parliament |
|
| Quote: | Two leftists in Italy's ruling coalition on Wednesday outraged fellow lawmakers by placing four dolls representing homosexual couples near the baby Jesus in the official nativity scene in parliament.
The two parliamentarians from the small "Rose in the Fist" party said their gesture was to promote the legalization of gay marriage and granting legal recognition to unmarried couples. |

I feel their outrage. This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous.

I'm speechless. I support their actions. Is messing with a nativity scene banned now?

What does a nativity, a christian representation of Christmas, have to do with gay marriage? Nothing.
Double standards are stupid.

I support Freedom of Speech in any case, but sometimes people can be stupid.

I'm quite sure, as you also are, that that was not the point that they were trying to make. Especially since you're required to read an article before replying to it.
So, now I get to be a mod and tell you to knock it off. Wow, that was fun.
