Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni that he is “worried about some of the positions Italy is taking on the issue of LGBT rights,” in front of TV cameras at the beginning of their bilateral meeting in Hiroshima. It is not clear what Trudeau was referring to, unless he considers that concerns over the demographic crisis shown by the Italian government are implicitly a discrimination against gays and lesbians, who do not make babies.
Last week, indeed, the Italian government held a “Estates-General on the Birth Rate” conference, with the participation of Pope Francis. On that occasion, Francis recounted that a lady at the general audience had asked him to bless her chihuahua dog. The Pope warned that this could become a “habit for the future.”
