However rightist parties which portray themselves as defenders of traditional values, welcomed the Church intervention. Right-wing parties applauded, saying the traditional family, religious freedom and free speech had to be protected. ADVERTISEMENTItalian politicians and advocacy groups reacted strongly to what they saw as an attempt to derail the Zan Law, named for the Democratic Party lawmaker and gay rights activist Alessandro Zan. Populist Italian Senator Matteo Salvini has stated that he rejects teaching gender ideology or creating crimes of opinion in a new anti-homophobia bill but remains open to dialogue. However, Salvini said he disputed, the introduction of new crimes of opinion and the fact that some issues arrive on the school benches of six-year-olds, and called for the rock of gender ideology at school and crimes of opinion to be removed, from the bill.
The bill is still very much open to change.
