An LGBT rights group is
denouncing a bed and breakfast inCavallino, in the southern
Italian countryside near Lecce, for displaying a bathroom sign
with icons for men, women, and "gay", as reported in the Lecce
edition of the regional daily Nuovo Quotidiano di Puglia.
The sign showed blue and pink icons for men and women,
respectively, with a third icon scratching its head, colored
half blue and half pink, labeled "gay".
"It's shocking that in 2017 there are still cases like this,
where there's great confusion between gender identity and sexual
orientation, and it's flaunted in such misleading and homophobic
signs in public places, which are demeaning and domuch harm,"
said Gianluca Rollo of the LGBT rights organisation LEA.
The bed and breakfast said the sign will be removed.
