Aug 11, 2007Quickie Link: Italians Protest at Politician's Anti-Gay Outburst
By vanrozenheim
(Italy) - Hundreds of Italians protested in the northern Italian city of Treviso on Saturday after the city's deputy mayor called for the "ethnic cleansing" of homosexuals from the area. The protesters gathered outside city hall to demand Giancarlo Gentilini's resignation, some wearing pink triangles like the ones homosexual men had to wear in Nazi concentration camps. A member of the right-wing Northern League party, Gentilini said on Wednesday he was so fed up with gays having sex in a car park that he was going to order police to carry out "ethnic cleansing" of homosexuals. "I will immediately give orders to my forces so that they can carry out an ethnic cleansing of f," Gentilini told a local television station. "The f must go to other (cities) where they are welcome. Here in Treviso there is no chance for faggots or the like."
