I have been an LBGTQIA+ activist for 20 years and former president of Famiglie Arcobaleno, the main association of LGBTQIA+ parents in Italy. My life as an activist has always been dedicated to civil rights and my pledge is to bring the voice of the LGTQIA+ community to the European Parliament and fight for our rights. As a lesbian mother in a country like Italy that denies the most basic rights of LGBTQIA+ citizens, I know what it means to work for equality.
This is the moment for Europe to stop the governments that are most dangerous for the rights and lives of minorities.
