The proposed law adds women and people who are gay, transgender or have disabilities to the classes of those protected under a law banning discrimination and punishing hate crimes. Marrazzo said Gay Pride Parades in Milan and Rome on Saturday would send a clear message from the streets on the topic and defend the laicity of the state. "There is a risk of lumping all kinds of attitudes together and making it possible to punish every possible distinction between a man and a woman," he said. It has passed in the lower house of parliament and is being discussed in a committee in the Senate. However rightist parties which portray themselves as defenders of traditional values, welcomed the Church intervention.
