(ANSA) - ROME, APR 20 - The European parliament on Thursday
approved an amendment condemning Italy, Poland and Hungary over
their use of anti-rights, anti-gender and anti-LGBTIQ rhetoric.
The amendment "strongly condemns the spread of anti-rights,
anti-gender and anti-LGBTIQ rhetoric by some influential
political leaders and governments in the EU, as in the case of
Hungary, Poland and Italy."
The amendment, which was approved by 282 votes in favor, 235
against and 10 abstentions, had been added to a resolution
calling for the universal decriminalization of homosexuality and
transgender identity, in response to newly adopted
anti-homosexuality legislation in Uganda.
