Buckled up your seats before you read this. The source for publishing this article comes from the Italian publication La Republica in Italy. The newspaper prints what appeared for days in FaceBook…that is most shocking to me. The newspaper exposes this FB page and adamfoxie* with the help of google translated it for you. The flavor of the Italian language was left left in the translation to remind the reader they are reading something from another language, we also do this to eliminate the danger that by changing words we change the meaning of them.

"Aborting a gay child is an act of faith"

On the social network there is a page of a group that invites you to terminate the pregnancy if the fetus "is diagnosed homosexual." Bragging pseudo scientific theory and connections with hospitals and researchers. Activists: "Incitement to hatred and against all credibility"

There is ignorance, homophobia and misogyny behind the page created on Facebook just to insult and humiliate a minority. In this case, homosexuals, although there are offenses against women, through use of the petty issue of abortion and homosexuality. "Abortion is a gay act of faith," the title of this virtual chaos created a week ago in the popular social network face book and now removed. In the few days that it was up it has raised nearly two thousand comments, mostly critical acclaim and disdain, and not only by homosexuals.

A page that, while presenting all the characteristics of the product created by a troll (ie a virtual character devoted exclusively to sterile provocations and angry), could now be sued by some ‘friends of  the court’.  Abuse on the credibility of the public on this type of offense: you point, in fact, the spread of pseudo-scientific arguments that have no basis of truth. Starting from what was written in an announcement, the day this page was created, June 19 it said:  “So many, many people have been misled by the false morality of the Sodomites but now, thanks to the miracles of science, we can prevent this . Yes, I know that abortion is terrible the poor children suffering from the genes of sodomy but it is the lesser evil. "

In different ways this showed a rage against homosexuals, defined as "sick" - in the worst tradition of homophobic - "freaks", "offense to the Lord" and so on, including religious references and comments of would-be mothers who have decided to abort their "gay fetuses". Most serious, however, is related to the connections that the operators of this page have to have with some hospitals and researchers - only to make their lies believable. "The fetuses who remain strangled around the umbilical cord of fetuses are of homosexual nature - written on June 24 - This says (l'Oms, e la Natura) as nature rightly teaches.

 This is the testimony of a respected friend and fellow researcher." And yet, it refers to some unspecified "volunteers" who would work in some Italian clinics: "How do you happen to have the instructions of our volunteers in the clinics?  Have you also decided to expel the homosexual fetus?". They also have incredible testimonies of women who have decided to abort their "gay fetuses": "After my son was diagnosed homosexual I wandered aimlessly wandering death and yearned above all things: who better to go to hell. There would other fruits in my womb. After an aborting the homosexual I got pregnant again. My son is healthy, I have seen God, I'm happy. " "I know that abortion is terrible the poor children suffering from the genes of sodomy but it is the lesser evil," reads another homophobe.

Paola Tanning, member of the Democratic Party, had threatened a complaint in the event that the page had not been closed. "In my opinion, are discernible details of the crime of abuse of popular credulity - Article 661 of the penal code - where you try to deceive people representing unconfirmed hypotheses scientifically false and completely unfounded, exploiting ignorance and suggestion. It should not underestimate the fact that , from these assumptions, there is also a public incitement to abortion, "says the lawyer Stoppello Daniel, who handled the most serious cases of homophobia. "I find it simply mind-blowing words on this page, outside any civil discussion - look at the Tanning - In these cases, the face of these statements, I'm always in the fear of young gay boys, forced to read these things. I wonder What do you think of these words when we know that Catholics are opposed to abortion. I agree with this type of abortion? ".

"From day we receive many complaints about this page, we have already report it to Facebook - said Aurelio Mancuso, president of Equality - This case is more than the issue of homophobia, but its also an incitement to abortion. This subject is so delicate and painful for women, which can not be used in such derogatory terms. I do not know if the anonymous operators of the page are really aware of this tremendous mix of misogyny, homophobia and prejudice. " Once again, it suffers the absence of a law against homophobia: "In another country, not just a page like this would only be closed immediately - looks even Mancuso - but its makers or publishers would have been prosecuted." "It 'a classic example of the need to extend the Mancino law on homosexual persons. We face a hate speech that should be prosecuted ex officio by the authorities. Mancino law today, protecting minorities of race and religion different, and does not consider sexual orientation, "notes Fabrizio Marrazzo, spokesman for the Gay Center.

LA REPUBBLICA (Italy)

ROME – Online homophobia has reached a new low in Italy where a Facebook page circulated this month with the declaration: “Aborting a gay (fetus) is an act of faith.”

Rome daily La Repubblica reported that the Italian language Facebookaccount was opened on June 19 with this false claim: “Thanks to the miracle of science we are able to impede (homosexuality)…Yes, I know that it is terrible to abort the poor babies affected by the gene of sodomy. But it is the lesser evil.” Updates followed with bogus reports of scientific studies that could determine homosexuality in the unborn, and invented would-be mothers adding posts about having to decide to abort after finding out their baby would be gay.

The virtual space generated more than 2,000 comments, mostly but not all critical, before Facebook closed the page after a week of protests from civil rights groups and politicians. Several noted that beyond the false news in the digital troll, there was also "incitement to abort." Gay rights activists noted that Italy has no law specifically punishing acts of homophobia. 

“I put myself in the shoes of young gay people who must read these things,” Paola Concia, a member of the Italian Parliament, told La Repubblica.
