The floor of the Lower House on
Monday started debating a new bill with measures to prevent and
combat discrimination and violence based on motives linked to a
person's sex, sexual orientation or gender identity.
The session was kicked off by the bill's rapporteur, Alessandro
Zan of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD).
Zan said that "24 years have passed since the first proposal"
for a law against homophobia, adding that parliament has failed
to pass one "six times" since then.
