Naples and the province come together to say "enough" to homophobia, here are all the events
Starting from last May 13 and up to 19 May 2015, Napoli and its provinces will be the scene of many events dedicated to the International Day against homophobia scheduled for the next 17 May.
The events, organized by Arcigay Antinoo together with numerous institutions and partners, will propose numerous debates, projections and torchlight processions, while on the 17th you will be able to attend a splendid Maschio Angioino illuminated in pink, flashmob, sports, banners and pacifist flags.
All in order to raise public awareness of the fight against all forms of discrimination and violence dictated by homophobia and transphobia. A cry, this, which becomes higher and higher thanks not only to contribution of the Neapolitan capital but also of the municipalities of Sant'Anastasia, Volla, Somma Vesuviana and Torre Annunziata.
The absolute novelty of the 2015 edition will also be the presence of associations, schools, students, Parentsed teachers who can participate in interesting meetings in the company of experts, who will address the most delicate issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
Homosexuality is not a mental illness as recognized byWorld Health Organization on 17 May 1990. A historical date this, which began the hard struggle for the conquest of rights and equal dignity for all homosexuals. Naples and Campania, therefore, join the fight once again confirming the avant-garde and the social and cultural modernity that the city has to offer.
