The smallest step



Yesterday L’Espresso published a story that I wrote about gay and lesbian rights in Italy. It’s an issue that has been going on forever. So far: zero results. You—literally—have to go to Greece or some east-european country to find a place where discrimination against non-heterosexuals is that bad.

So don’t go there. You might as well take a good look at Netherlands, where gay marriage and adoption are legal since the dawn of time and—correct me if I’m mistaken—society did not really explode.

But what do they know after all.
