LGBT voters in Rome are angry with the newly elected mayor because he failed to attend Saturday’s pride parade (15 June).
Despite being a left-wing and socially involved politician, Ignazio Marino from Partito Democratico (PD) said he could not go to the pride for ‘family reasons’.
He released a videomessage to the LGBT community, saying he stood for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender cause.
‘But this is not enough’, Andrea Maccarrone, LGBT association Circolo Mario Mieli’s president, told Gay Star News.
