Equality, dignity, and secularism. Principles that any democratic state should take for granted. But not in Italy. In Italy it falters. So much so that yesterday gathered in the square thousands of colorful gay, lesbian, homosexual, but also many young and old, men and women spiritually united in a battle of civilizations, that the secular state. If you come to the point of delegating to the squares, variously oriented, the defense of a fundamental principle of democracy, if you arrived at when the defense of gay rights has become a battle of all. Because their isolation Political same as all other citizens, then it can be considered as having passed the threshold of political debate and to be plunged into a real democratic emergency. Counts very little, indeed seems almost ridiculous, participation in the battle of secularism engaged in "Gay Pride" of some ministers in this shaky execution. Embarrassing to hear the allegations against clerical interference in the laws of the secular state by those who should be the first defender of democratic principles without hesitation and timidity, regularly dusted off in Parliament on behalf of politicians who do not care about balancing nicely the real needs of citizens first of all equality rights. There were many politicians of left, yesterday in the square, almost all belonging to that branch of the left has decided to leave the parent company of the emerging Democratic Party. Took to the streets for the same reason why they decided to rip with Rutelli and Fassino, with Prodi and D'Alema, with Binetti and Fioroni, founding fathers of the emerging Democratic Party increasingly biased towards the Vatican on the reading of the legislative ethical issues. That left the streets, led by Angi and Salvi, has instead a better idea, very clear on the subject. But their current political power, that of numbers, it makes a difference in the battle over secularism is being fought, however, daily, between the benches of Parliament, including those seeking to pass the equal rights to a mere question of minority, in order to impose one single model of ethical and social reference: the usual "traditional family", to clerical mold that today is not just a majority in the country. Just remember the photo of exuberant political family "Family Day" rode in great pomp by the Knight himself just a month ago, where all political leaders in the square were separated and the second or third family in tow. Apart Mastella.La presence of heterosexual people in the "Gay Pride" would have made it clear to this paralyzed the Italian political class that the idea of \u200b\u200braising a single model of reference one mind and one way of understanding the emotional ties to the community calendar is considered politically loser. And continue to tolerate that the urgent interference of the Church on the management of customs and rights of citizens, can backfire especially devastating for the political parties in the making, just as the Democratic Party. Because now it is clear that the Act say that the living will, through the revision of Law 40 on artificial insemination up to a possible review of family planning clinics, no longer pass only the rights of a few, but those of all. Those who feel threatened from any diversity has always been considered a weakness he sees in the freedom of others an open challenge to the fragile ethics. Only "traditional families" weak may feel threatened or belittled by coexistence of different choices made by different people. There is, in short, no justification, if not precisely the immense fragility of thought, the entire national community to want to impose rules of social life that now belong to a community of small and dull conformists who is giving to a bank Church increasingly closed in on itself and therefore increasingly arrogant. In this sense, the battle over the secular state can rise again more. Because in the game now, there is a value even higher, that of freedom.
's funny how all defend our wrongs with more vigor than our rights.
