Via Pics on Reddit as “Italian right wing prime minister Giorgia Meloni reacts to two girls kissing at the olympics”

Post was originally titled “Lesbian Kiss at the Olympics / Far Right Italian Prime Minister Reaction” but the pictures are unlikely to have been taken at the same event.

    I know that Alice Weidel, co-chairwoman of the german right-wing extremist party AfD is openly gay and in a relationship with a woman from Sri Lanka. Fun fact: while she actively tries to abolish same-sex marriage in Germany, her partner advocated for the introduction of same-sex marriage in switzerland.

        Welcome to German politics. You thought the orange boi was weird…

        Maximilian Krah, the now more or less disgraced frontrunner for the EU elections has 7 kids from like 4 different women. The AfD still explicitly claims to be in favour of traditional families

          Former prime minister now disgraced former MP Boris Johnson thinks them be rookie numbers. If you know how many kids you have you’re doing it wrong.

          A traditional family is when a woman has 7 kids by the same man, duh. More than one, she’s a sluuuuuut.

      Our own far right leader Geert Wilders, who wants to exit the EU and limit immigration from islamic countries and central/eastern Europe, is married to a woman from Hungary.

      Whenever a rightwing politician is yelling something is bad, chances are they are complicit of it themselves.

          The first modern country to legalize same-sex marriage was the Netherlands, in 2001. The most recent was Greece in 2024.

          I think the reality of it being a complete non-issue makes it easy to forget that it is a relatively recent change in public opinion and that it still isn’t legal in most of the world.

        The American right seems to be the world’s dumping ground for problematic individuals, e.g. Pierce Morgan and Nigel Farage.

          Hating the French is considered funny by some, it’s a somewhat big meme in Germany at least. I’ve never found it funny and feel like it hurts the European community.

    Her eyes genuinely look like they’re watering up too. Considering the expression, I doubt it’s a wholesome tearjerking moment, but I still struggle to grasp the idea of someone becoming so full of eye watering rage over two people showing love to each other.

    I’m sure there are worse timelines but this definitely isn’t one of the good ones.

      To me it looks like she wants in, she’s been denying these feelings in herself for so long she that the freedom to express love like that, so freely and without hesitation must be bliss just outside of reach for her.

        Did we all just forget that her partner was caught setting up a threesome with another woman? Just because he was only caught once does not mean it was the only time. I think Georgia loves a fishy Friday.

        oh it absolutely does, it makes them have to constantly confront the fact that they’re not a perfectly straight and uncomplicated being, that almost everyone has more nuance to their identity than that, and it makes them very uncomfortable and afraid.

        the right wing is full of people who are suffused with internalized bigotry and are constantly bottling up their true identity, it’s sad as fuck

          They want order and structure above all things it seems. “These are the rules, I have followed them all of my life. I’ve been told that I’m battling a supernatural force and I’ve been winning. You don’t even try to fight it. You embrace it. I’m worried that god might not exist to punish you, so I want to punish you on his behalf. My children see you and they may think to themselves, “maybe I don’t have to follow these rules.” I’m afraid to face my neighbors and fellow churchgoers with a kid who sees your carefree, sinful lifestyle and chooses to embrace freedom over suffering. Life is suffering, and if you won’t suffer willingly then I’ll make you suffer.”

          I don’t know. I can’t get in anybody’s head, but I’ve known some seriously repressed and miserable people in my life.

          I knew a guy growing up, his dad was a preacher. When we were about 13-14 he asked me, “angryseal, have you ever given thought to being gay?” I told him I hadn’t, not seriously. He’s never said anything else about it but he is furiously homophobic today.

            Ouch. That is just… so tragic, and so stupid. I wonder if he was still processing. Obviously nothing to do with you, but if some adult in his life had just had the audacity to say like “I don’t know I don’t think there’s anything wrong with gay people” or somesuch. Well, you wonder if things could have gone differently for him.
