Pro vita & family posters in Rome: so children are used to convey hatred and discrimination by those who shout to want to “protect” them

Still propaganda, still discrimination. It is spokesperson the campaign My son no of pro vita & family which uses children as a shield to attack the LGBTQIA+community. The posters posted in Rome, with phrases such as “today at school an LGBT activist explained how to change sex” or “my school has also allowed males to use the bathrooms of females”, do not just be misleading: they are artfully built to feed confusion, homotransphobia and hatred towards people and families who exist and are a reality.

Talk about “Educational freedom” While disinformation is spread and criminalize any attempt to educate respect and diversity is a profoundly incorrect operation. No Italian school is “indoctrinating” children. No teacher is imposing models of life: on the contrary, we try to build a school environment where nobody feels wrong, invisible or in danger for what it is.

This is why the Municipality of Rome ordered the immediate removal of the posters that appeared in the streets of the capital, recognizing its severely discriminatory content. The billboards were judged “marked by stereotypes in the representation of the LGBTQIA+community, represented as a threat and harmful to the development of children and childhood”. A necessary act, which clearly affirms that public space cannot be used to convey hatred disguised by opinion.

In the same hours, The Court of Cassation confirmed that the 2019 “Father and Mother and Mother’s Decree is discriminatory. While institutions begin to recognize the importance of protecting all forms of family and identity, these posters appear, whose contents represent a distortion of the educational reality and a direct attack on LGBTQIA+people, through the words of the children. These messages not only disinform: they contribute to creating a hostile and dangerous environment, especially for young people, who are often alone to face prejudices, bullying and isolation.

What you should reflect on is the way this organization continues to use violent words in the name of the “protection of children”, when in reality it is ready to exploit them for their ideological profit and attack them firsthand, for example by not recognizing homogenitor families that make up a good slice of the families of our country. In the name of this “protection” pro vita & family, he puts at the center of manipulators, children and adolescents by making them say they only serve to spread fear and intolerance. It is not protection, it is rhetorical abuse. «The language of hatred attacks and kills people: We are experiencing a state of emergency, but we have no intention of staying to look at, “commented Rachele Giuliano, president of Arcigay Roma. “These campaigns are a direct attack on the dignity and rights of LGBTQIA+people”.

The only real danger to children is to grow in a world that teaches them to hate what is different. Love does not hurt. Diversity does not hurt. It is the intolerance that leaves deep wounds and those who promote it should stop hiding behind the word “family”.
