Consistent with the subtitle of this blog I must say that I completely wrong about the outlook for Roma Pride . It is not the first time, it also happened with the Turin Pride, which also had a very different perception, but it is suffering from a pernicious form of pessimism superstitious these things happen to me, sometimes.

And where are all those who said that the Family Day accounted for the majority of Italians?
Mathematics is not an opinion. In this case for us is an extraordinary satisfaction, and also, as always, a great responsibility. After
Family Day will announce sfraceli in the two opposite poles of the birth of the movement of Pezzotta , however, that I think will annoy especially in PD. The same will happen to us? we will rise to the occasion?
