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 hope she loses her citizenship and wins again against italy for a country that doesn't hate her

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

You can just get another passport and choose which country to compete for...

Aaaanyway, I doubt the whole country hates her, in fact despite being a catholic country and generally right wing, Italian population proved in many cases to be more progressive when their own interest was touched. The most interesting examples are the referenda on divorce and abortion.

HOW DARE YOU EXIST AND COMPLICATE MY WORLD

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

*world view

Absolutely nothing about lgbtq people actually has an effect on their day to day lives.

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

oh it absolutely does, it makes them have to constantly confront the fact that they're not a perfectly straight and uncomplicated being, that almost everyone has more nuance to their identity than that, and it makes them very uncomfortable and afraid.

the right wing is full of people who are suffused with internalized bigotry and are constantly bottling up their true identity, it's sad as fuck

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

They want order and structure above all things it seems. “These are the rules, I have followed them all of my life. I’ve been told that I’m battling a supernatural force and I’ve been winning. You don’t even try to fight it. You embrace it. I’m worried that god might not exist to punish you, so I want to punish you on his behalf. My children see you and they may think to themselves, “maybe I don’t have to follow these rules.” I’m afraid to face my neighbors and fellow churchgoers with a kid who sees your carefree, sinful lifestyle and chooses to embrace freedom over suffering. Life is suffering, and if you won’t suffer willingly then I’ll make you suffer.”

I don’t know. I can’t get in anybody’s head, but I’ve known some seriously repressed and miserable people in my life.

I knew a guy growing up, his dad was a preacher. When we were about 13-14 he asked me, “angryseal, have you ever given thought to being gay?” I told him I hadn’t, not seriously. He’s never said anything else about it but he is furiously homophobic today.

Nooo not the kissies between women 😭

She's in shambles

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (8 children)

I know that Alice Weidel, co-chairwoman of the german right-wing extremist party AfD is openly gay and in a relationship with a woman from Sri Lanka. Fun fact: while she actively tries to abolish same-sex marriage in Germany, her partner advocated for the introduction of same-sex marriage in switzerland.

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

Switzerland doesn't have same sex marriage? I'm surprised.

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

It does now, since 2022.

What kind of cognizant dissonance is going on here? FFS she probably flogs herself every night too.

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

Just doing it for the power I guess

She deserves love like everyone. But she doesn't deserve to be elected.

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

Our own far right leader Geert Wilders, who wants to exit the EU and limit immigration from islamic countries and central/eastern Europe, is married to a woman from Hungary.

Whenever a rightwing politician is yelling something is bad, chances are they are complicit of it themselves.

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

Wut?

I don't understand how conservative people keep falling for this stuff

What's surprising? It's 2024 and you still haven't understand that politicians are a bunch of corrupted criminals who's job is to lie?

Welcome to German politics. You thought the orange boi was weird...

Maximilian Krah, the now more or less disgraced frontrunner for the EU elections has 7 kids from like 4 different women. The AfD still explicitly claims to be in favour of traditional families

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

A traditional family is when a woman has 7 kids by the same man, duh. More than one, she’s a sluuuuuut.

Now, men. That’s a different story. All they gotta do is warsh thurr wiener and bam, purity.

Sounds like Trump! Similarly, a majority of his wives weren’t American.

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

I like my women like I like my Hitlers. Speaking a language I don’t understand. :p

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Former prime minister now disgraced former MP Boris Johnson thinks them be rookie numbers. If you know how many kids you have you're doing it wrong.

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

What's the contradiction? Clearly, he likes traditional families so much he started four of them! \s

That is the look of someone desperately trying to not be turned on at the exact moment they realize they're fighting a losing battle.

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

I'm hoping her head will just pop.

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

She should just give in & go get gangbang fisted by a dykes on bikes club to deal with her internalized issues.

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

Her eyes genuinely look like they're watering up too. Considering the expression, I doubt it's a wholesome tearjerking moment, but I still struggle to grasp the idea of someone becoming so full of eye watering rage over two people showing love to each other.

I'm sure there are worse timelines but this definitely isn't one of the good ones.

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

The picture is from a completely different event, so unfortunately the two things are completely unrelated.

Possibly she would have reacted similarly, who knows...

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

To me it looks like she wants in, she's been denying these feelings in herself for so long she that the freedom to express love like that, so freely and without hesitation must be bliss just outside of reach for her.

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

Did we all just forget that her partner was caught setting up a threesome with another woman? Just because he was only caught once does not mean it was the only time. I think Georgia loves a fishy Friday.

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

Give her a moment, let her get acquainted with the reality at large.

I love all the pearl clutching this Olympic season is causing. Good job France.

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

What sort of world are we in where I'm cheering on France?

Sorry about the racist/xenophobic/religious/batshit crazy American shitholes, world... They only represent 20-40% of us. They're very loud... We can hear them more then you, trust me. We aren't fond of them.

The American right seems to be the world's dumping ground for problematic individuals, e.g. Pierce Morgan and Nigel Farage.

Rupert Murdoch too, unfortunately that cunt is too globally influential for the damage to remain in America
