'm gay and that's okay

Tiziano Ferro ha fatto coming out . Tutti sapevano, lo si aspettava da tempo, alla fine lo ha fatto. È una cosa buona: farà bene a lui – un macigno in meno sulla sua esistenza: “Ora sento che davanti a me c'è una vita piena di opportunità”, ha detto a Repubblica –farà bene a noi. Gli esempi sono importanti.

E invece non tutti sono d’accordo. In attesa del prossimo editorial Marcello Veneziani, just take a trip on facebook. Here's what he wrote one of my contacts (a type of intellectual and left):

"Since sexuality is something exquisite mind-private, where no one should fool absolutely nothing to the picture, but also to the frame, Tiziano Iron has seen fit to disclose his private dicks: visited even by a criminal named. Spontaneous demand: it is an idiot of his or simulates? It 's so hopelessly troglodyte, or simply an overgrown ego to be filled? "

was reported here, including insults, not to rage against the individual, but because it expresses a very common cliché - also on the left. is the usual spiel: "I do not care what you do in bed, the important thing is that it let me know" . The same argument (I could not find the article: you help me?), I use Enzo Biagi Italian criticizing the first lesbian couple who, in 1998, in Pisa, she enrolled in the register of civil unions.

So I say, once and for all: the to sexuality is not a private matter . Not because one needs to tell what they like to do in bed (the one we leave to our prime minister), but because sexual orientation comes in everyday social . Whenever

a man who says "my girlfriend", or "my wife", is claiming to be heterosexual. But no one accuses him of putting his clothes in the square. If a man says "my boyfriend" or a woman, "my friend", than they are accused of exhibitionism. Think about it, it's almost a reflex-Conditioning o.

claim that the gay and lesbian people do not show who they are is a subtle form of homophobia and slimy . This country is still repressed homosexuality, gays and lesbians (including the trans, but we are talking about homosexuals) are discriminated against, insulted, even stabbed. And if a public figure, and loved, says being gay is an important fact: the challenge prejudice and discrimination. says: "I have a right to exist" . Reproach him frankly that means repeat that does not have it.

My 'friend' on Facebook has stated that he is angry with Tiziano Ferro because it is one who lives his homosexuality as a sin "and then" feeds the discrimination. " Moreover, Ferro explained that he lived badly, but not any more - and it's different. But blaming gays, accuse them of being accomplices of their discrimination is a reaction by the book of social psychology. Like when it says: "I'm not that I have it with Jews, are the ones who want to remain different, do not behave like everyone else. "

Tiziano Ferro was born and raised in America, a place where the right has 70%. And if anyone has the right to say something is "queer" . Tiziano Ferro, a Republic, said: "The most absurd thing is that I can not blame anyone, I did not live in an environment that denies homosexuality, I did everything myself, I've always been the problem." Perhaps it is true to its immediate environment, but it is not true in general.

We are in a country where, as explained Scalfarotto Ivan, the worst offense is "queer." A child, any child, he learned that "queer" is an offense before knowing what it means. You know, now, that it is better not to be "queer" - and it takes a self-assurance out of the ordinary non not to be groped.

course, on this my 'friend' on Facebook's right, better not having to go through this phase. In 2001, the year when Tiziano Ferro became famous, Klaus Wowereit became mayor of Berlin . When a candidate says: "Ich bin schwul - und das ist auch gut so." "I'm gay and that's okay" . Point.

But in Italy there are many boys and girls who have had the experience of Tiziano Ferro: not want to be gay or lesbian for fear of the consequences . And knowing that he has overcome all this, and now is happy and successful, it may be their only help.

The examples are important. After the election of Barack Obama, African-American students have improved their performance on tests of input universities : just because you know you can get more (if you want to be president! ") Have begun to get more. Applies to all subordinate or minority groups. Today, Italians are accustomed to consider themselves homosexual citizens Series B - because for the institutions that discriminate against them, do not exist. Tiziano Ferro reminded us that gay and lesbian people exist and have right to happiness.
