missrully Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 MIKA official 2h2 hours ago The Gay community in Milan has so much to be sad and angry about tonight. 2h2 hours ago I too am sad for the judgement and lack of tolerance in Italy when an important and necessary step forward is about to be taken. 23m Dovunque c'è amore , c'è famiglia.

Alyara Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 And what has happened in Milan? Well, I will try to read the news, but maybe it's too local... A writing saying FAMILY DAY has appeared on the building where Lombardy Region offices are. Family day is an event organized by people who support the "traditional family made of a man and a woman" and are therefore against the rights of gay couples. Yes, we still are that far behind the rest of the world... And his new header is a pic of the same building with the writing LOVE=FAMILY, unfortunately it's only a photoshopped image 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emelyne412 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Such a shame from that "organization" I thought that the law was accorded last year. Thanks a lot for tour explanations, I was a bit lost when I saw his tweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannekj Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Sad to hear about the stuff in Italy It's strange to hear that in a country where Mika has so many followers, there are still so many that are this close minded... I saw someone tweeting something about "family is wherever love is", something that I think all of us on here know is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyara Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Yes, it's sad. Today there's an event in 100 Italian cities in support of gay rights, in opposition to the family day that's gonna take place next week... and what do we hear on radios and TV everywhere? That the Pope said once again there's no such thing as family made of same sex couples. The Pope has still way too much influence on our country, which is supposed to be a secular state by the way...

Alyara Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's 2016 and some people still don't accept gay rights? This is just shocking. Welcome to Italy, where our politicians are just a bunch of puppets and most people are afraid of thinking for themselves. We're lucky enough to have people who do and care for others, but that's not enough if our government doesn't approve the law that allows gay couples to get married... oh wait... civilly united -.-' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We-Are-Golden Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Gay marriage is also legal here in Holland, luckely. I do also remember that I've been to a gay marriage when I was a kid. I just don't get why some people are so homophobic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiMikaFreak Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Gay marriage is legal in New Zealand as well, we were also named 2nd most Gay Friendly country by Lonely Planet Guide 2. New ZealandThe Land of the Long White Cloud has long been lauded for its inclusive and progressive behaviour toward the LGBTQ community. In 1998 New Zealand was the first nation to adopt the label of ‘Gay/Lesbian Friendly’ when referring to businesses and accommodation – an initiative now recognised globally. The country offers a brilliant network of gay- and lesbian-friendly homestays which run the length and breadth of the country from the top of the semi-tropical North Island to the depths of the glacial South. Since passing same-sex marriage laws in 2013, New Zealand has actively promoted same-sex marriage tourism to the likes of Australia and other Pacific nations where equality laws are less progressive.

Marilyn Mastin Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) It's the Roman Catholic Church that causes most of the problems. Not just with the Gay issues, but with things like equality for women. They didn't like the fact that Mary Magdalene had a big part in Jesus's ministry, so they called her a prostitute (which she wasn't) to slur her name. The church is huge in Italy, but thankfully, not so much in the UK now, but the RC church has a lot to answer for. I wish things were different.
