The speech given by Luca Barbareschi during the presentation of an exhibition in Sutri, in Viterbese, a small village led by Vittorio Sgarbi as mayor since 2018, raises a fuss of protests.
"The problem is the gay mafia" and "inclusivity is the stupidest thing in the world" were the words of the actor, director and former MP of the People of Freedom.
He was joined by the mayor, complete with a tricolor band.
The LGBT community has already clamored for an official apology from Barbareschi. Instead, via social media, he invited those who feel offended to “deal with beauty and literature, theater and cinema. Not of instrumental nonsense ".
“The paradox today - the words of Barbareschi - is that the problem is the gay mafia. Not being homosexual, but the mafia of homosexuals, of lesbians ”. "I should make a film where there is always a dwarf, a transgender, a Chinese maybe homosexual or lesbian," he said again. “The dwarves that I have to script as the Academy Awards dictate drown me. And when transgender people in heels get off the boat, pierce it and drown, how do they do it? ".
“Those of Barbareschi are unacceptable words”, the Lazio Pride comment: “The LGBT community is a victim of organized crime - reads a note -, which exploits and oppresses the conditions of hardship of those who are victims of homophobia. Barbareschi apologize ".
The reaction of Vladimir Luxuria also arrived, who wrote on Twitter: "As a trans, I can say that 'those who despise buy' ... a few words to the good connoisseur".
“Here it is, the language of hatred of those who fear that their small, great, privilege will be questioned. Little men with a fragile identity ”, commented Monica Cirinnà.
And Barbareschi has also increased the dose: "I am in favor of all diversities - his tweet - as long as, in turn, they do not discriminate against others with mafia attitudes of belonging".
