A national mobilization called
Onda Pride (Pride Wave) organized by gay rights association
Arcigay is set to kick off on Saturday in three Italian cities.
"We must demand more, we deserve a better country," Arcigay
President Flavio Romani said ahead of the marches to support
LGBTI rights to take place in Benevento, near Naples; Pavia,
just south of Milan; and Verona, west of Venice.
"It's time to bring pride to the streets, to sound the
alarm," he said.
"Parliament and government still don't recognize the lives,
the needs and the relationships of gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transsexual, and intergender people," Romani said.
The Pride Wave campaign is part of a larger online campaign
called It's #HUMAN Pride!, and will take to the streets in 15
different marches throughout Italy between June and July.
