Queer: significato, attivismo e diritti LGBTQIA+ in Italia oggi

A recent article dives into the idea of 'queer' and LGBTQIA+ rights in Italy, featuring insights from curators Carlo Settimio Battisti and Davide Lunerti, who are behind the 'Ultraqueer' exhibit at Palazzo Merulana in Rome during June and July 2022. The term 'queer' comes from English and describes gender identities and sexual orientations that deviate from traditional norms. Public discussions on this topic gained momentum in the 1960s and 1970s, especially with the rise of the internet. Notably, the Rome Pride event saw 900,000 attendees. However, Italian laws, such as 164/1982 and 76/2016, fall short, lacking equal marriage and stepchild adoption. Advocacy groups like Famiglie Arcobaleno and Rete Lenford are pushing for legislation to ensure family equality, while discussions also touch on the use of asterisks and schwa in language.
