The Vatican has given money to a group of transgender sex workers in Italy who are struggling to survive during the coronavirus pandemic.
Gay.it, an Italian LGBTQ newspaper, reported the trans sex workers in Torvaianica, a coastal city that is outside of Rome, approached a parish priest last month and asked him to help them buy food.
Reuters reported the nationwide lockdown the Italian government imposed on March 9 to curb the pandemic in the country has depleted the parish’s resources.
