Italian activists push for law that will make violence towards LGBTQ+ people a hate crime
Activists in Italy have been tirelessly fighting for the protection of LGBTQ+ people and have made massive strides with proposed bill.
According to The Guardian, the bill in question would make violence towards LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, and acts of misogyny a hate crime.
Democratic Party politician Alessandro Zan, states: “If we succeed in definitively approving this law, Italy will finally be a country that accepts LGBT rights.” He continued: “Because right now we are among the last countries in Europe for the social acceptance of LGBT people.” The law was originally drafted by Zan and will be viewed as an extension of an existing non-discrimatory law.
