Italian church group boycotts gay movie

Militia Christi protests against release of Good As You

A Catholic political group in Italy is calling for a boycott of gay movie Good As You.

According to the Militia Christi movement, Mariano Lamberti’s film is a ‘vulgar representation of homosexuality, with which the author wants to equalize the union between two men to that between a man and a woman.’

Good As You will be released in 60 Italian cinemas tomorrow (6 April) and Militia Christi has sent letters to the owners of the cinemas screening the film and its star Lorenzo Balducci.
