Arcigay has denounced that a campaign of discrimination against male and
female homosexuals in underway in several secondary schools in Rome.

"This morning, the students of the Aristofane secondary school in Rome found
the slogan 'we want lesbians out of our school' on the school's external
walls.

Unfortunately, similar slogans have been heard and seen in several Italian
schools for quite a long time" said the president of Arcigay in Rome,
Fabrizio Marrazzo. "this proves that schools in Rome are often unprepared to
address these issues and train students adequately, which ends up damaging
lots of male and female homosexual students whose number is estimated to
reach over 30,000 in Rome and the whole province".
