Via Pics on Reddit as "Italian right wing prime minister Giorgia Meloni reacts to two girls kissing at the olympics"

Gay Olympic judo athlete wins gold and celebrates by kissing her girlfriend - Team LGBTQ's Alice Bellandi brought Italy its first Olympic gold medal in judo since 2008 in scintillating fashion.

Italian far-right government limits parental rights of same-sex couples - Gay rights activists on Tuesday denounced as homophobic moves by Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni’s far-right-led government to limit recognition of parental rights to the biological parent only in the case of same-sex parents.

Post was originally titled "Lesbian Kiss at the Olympics / Far Right Italian Prime Minister Reaction" but the pictures are unlikely to have been taken at the same event.

I'm pretty sure the gay Greek athletes of the past are looking down at this with joy, so whats the PMs problem?

Jealousy?

I was thinking the same thing:

"How dare she‽ If I can't publicly be myself then nobody else should be able to either!"

"If I can't have it, noone can!"
But you can hav---
"I SAID NOONE CAN HAVE IT!!!"

Look at the jealousy in Meloni's eyes

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That was my first thought as well... That glare is a case study in deep seeded anger over having repressed one's true being for a lifetime and then seeing others have what you thought wasn't possible.

please stop blaming gay people for homophobia. Some people are just awful.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

No one was blaming anyone for anything… other then assholes for being assholes.

The point of the comment above yours went waaaaay over your head. Read it again.

Aside from that, you are correct, some people are just awful, but they didn't start out that way from the jump, usually.

fascist creep is repressed queer therefore hateful of visible lesbian romance is blaming homophobia on repressed queer people.

That is certainly one of the sentences ever written.

Well, rather than gloating about how stupid I am and failing to uphold the standards of behaviour of the community you registered at. Why don't you explain what you think the person was referring to wrt envy etc? Or are you more interested in mockery than being helpful?

You seemed to not understand what they were saying, which was that Meloni is sitting there with deep seated rage and jealousy. She has repressed her feelings her entire life. She has even persecuted others for not repressing themselves. But here, at the Olympics, in front of everyone, here are 2 people just being themselves, as she longs to be. Seeing this brings up deep seated rage and jealousy.

So what people are noticing is that that expression is not disgust. That expression is jealousy and rage. I would go so far as to say that to me it looks like she is crying on the inside.

The implication is repressed her feelings of queerness.

It's in the top 100%

Gay stuff in the Olympics, eh? Sounds like they are taking The Games back to their roots! 👍🏻

I bet viewership will go up if they bring back the old rule about everyone competing nude.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That would make the Olympics way cooler. I'd watch the shit out of nude mountain biking and nude BMX.

Nude fencing would be lit

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nude wrestling.

Though, based on some research I've done, nude wrestling is hottest when they start clothed but need to remove the clothes from their opponent as part of the match.

Research...

Is hurdle jumping an Olympic sport? I want to see those bag slappers.
