Wonderful to see creative gay people using art to provide more evidence that religion is spiritually and morally bankrupt.

Italy is continuously going backwards, I'm sorry for them, in some year are going to be isolated in Europe where social rights are evolving so quick.

Over 150 yrs ago Garibaldi called the Catholic Church a cancer at the center of Italy & so it remains. Obscene that the Church prohibits love between certain humans but won't truly address the institutionalized sexual abuse & rape that has been going on within it for centuries. We're not talking about "a few bad apples" in the Church, but institution-wide criminality. $600 million in settlements in Los Angeles arch-diocese alone! $3 billion world-wide! I was raised & educated (12 yrs) Catholic.

I just saw the movie on the Sundance Channel and I am so thankful that I had the chance to watch you guys stand up for what you believe in. Let us teach everyone especially ourself that if we stand together we may someday have equal rights. Just like the woman said at the gay pride in Italy, " A family is listening, respect, and love. We are family!" Thank you again,

Worse. There's no way back to berlusconization and consequent anthropological degeneration. After he swallowed televisions, press, education, today most italian people are reduced to stupidity. No memory. No more common sense. They believe every lie, applaud every vulgarity. The political dialogue is reduced to void slogans, insults, trivial lies. A dictatorship; of course, there's no censure, nor physic violence, as not needed. But the civil consciences are tortured every day.
