Last thursday, 2 gay men were arrested for kissing eachother by the Colosseum in Rome! They were charged with "indecent behaviour", and they can actually face jail for up to 2 years (I'm in total shock).
Because of all this, there will be a protestaction this Thursday by the gay rights group Arcigay. The protest will consist of hundreds of gay and lesbian couples kissing eachother. So if you are near Rome on Thursday, please join in.
I never thought a "decent" European country like Italy could have such narrow minded restrictions. Then again, they are Catholic...
