Italians protest at anti-gay outburst

Just what we need, Italy has their own little version of Hitler out to get gays.

I wanna hurt this guy.

"
Hundreds of Italians protested in the northern Italian city of Treviso after the city's deputy mayor called for the "ethnic cleansing" of homosexuals from the area.

The protesters gathered outside city hall to demand Giancarlo Gentilini's resignation, some wearing pink triangles like the ones homosexual men had to wear in Nazi concentration camps.

Prosecutors were also looking into the deputy mayor's comments to see whether they might warrant a criminal investigation, Italian media reported.

"Today's protest, which is joined by hundreds of people, will not be the last. It will be the first in a long series," said Aurelio Mancuso, the head of gay rights group Arcigay.

A member of the right-wing Northern League party, Gentilini said on Wednesday he was so fed up with gays having sex in a car park that he was going to order police to carry out "ethnic cleansing" of homosexuals."

His Popelessness must be getting excited over this one.

Luckily this man does not represent the feelings of the majority of Italians.

He'll be gone soon enough.
