ITALY: Activists Counter Neo-Nazis With Public Reading Of LGBT Children’s Books

Yesterday I reported that Italy’s neo-Nazi New Front Party planned to hold a burning of LGBT children’s books in a central plaza in Milan. Local activists had demanded that city authorities stop the event and that may have happened. Not stopped, however, was a large counter-protest by LGBT activists and allies, who this afternoon staged a public reading of numerous LGBT children’s titles.  Bravo Milano! Meanwhile the neo-Nazis are mocking the counter-protest on their Facebook page.
