They say they want to live in a civilised country

Gay men from Italy who are members of the association Arcigay say they are to ask for asylum in Spain because of the ‘increasing homophobia’ in their country.

They are to present their request for asylum before the Spanish Consulate in Milan, and have called a national demonstration in Rome on October 10.

‘We want to live in a civilized country’ they say, highlighting recent attacks on people attending gay venues in Italy.
