Italian far-right government limits parental rights of same-sex couples - Gay rights activists on Tuesday denounced as homophobic moves by Italian Premier Giorgia Meloniās 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.
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
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.
The first modern country to legalize same-sex marriage was the Netherlands, in 2001. The most recent was Greece in 2024.
I think the reality of it being a complete non-issue makes it easy to forget that it is a relatively recent change in public opinion and that it still isn't legal in most of the world.
