Italian left groups vie for gay support February 29, 2008
Two leftist parties will compete for the votes of Italian homosexuals, a Communist party leader has announced.
In an interview for the newspaper Il Giornale, the outgoing speaker of Italy’s parliament, Fausto Bertinotti, announced that the Rainbow Left, a coalition of Italian Communists and the Green party, will challenge the Democratic Party for the votes of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transsexuals.
Bertinotti, leader of the red-green coalition, stated, “The Rainbow Left will bring to parliament a significant gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual presence…Our candidates include a significant number of individuals of these different sexual orientations and affections.”
The pro-homosexual Web site Gay.it has suggested that as much as 50% of the homosexual vote will go to the Democratic Party. The Rainbow Left could receive 15%, Italy’s Socialist Party 5%, and the center-right People of Freedom Party 25%.
