«Physically the boy is better, he will recover. Morally and psychologically I don’t dare to imagine how he is, maybe I don’t want to imagine it “wrote the president of Arci Cosenza Silvio Cilento. “I am sharing this episode with you all just to remind you how necessary and important it is to talk about gender violence, LGBTI issues, gender identity and sexual orientation. To make you understand how much it is necessary to talk about 17 May, about homophobia, transphobia and lesbophobia. To give you a good reason to take to the streets and participate, participate and participate in initiatives to combat hatred and violence “.
