LGBT News Gay Catholic Leftist is President of Sicily

Interesting. Sicily has always been a place with deep seeded roots to organized crime. Im pretty sure that I either read or heard somewhere, that that is one of the reasons why Sicily and Italy don't get along to well. That's just from what I heard though. I wonder if he can take care of the corruption there as well as help further LGBT rights in Sicily. Although, I don't know of any current plans regarding LGBT rights. Im also part Sicilian by the way. I would love to go to there and Italy someday, but due to the catholic church and rampant homophobia, I don't think that I would be able to enjoy it too much. :dry:

 

His job is certainly going to be more difficult than governing most regions, and possibly more difficult than governing some countries.

I fear that if he's assassinated it'll be (likely falsely) attributed more to the fact that he's gay than that he's a political/administrative reformer. His sexuality won't mean as much to corrupt officials and other criminals as his wishes to overhaul the bureaucracy and expose their corruption.

 

They actually don't give a rip about a lot of things over there. I was surprised when I read of his being the region's governor but, at the same time, I was not surprised.

 

Hopefully he can guide the Island on a path similar to their Northern Provincial relatives,
The South of Italy hasn't been doing very well.

 

A gay leftist became president in the Texas of Europe? Respect. Mad respect.
