Giorgia Meloni

Meloni has consistently opposed the legalization of same-sex marriage and adoption by same-sex couples in Italy. She has described herself as "pro-family" and has been critical of what she terms "gender ideology." In 2020, she stated that "there is no homophobia" in Italy, a remark that was widely criticized by LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.

Meloni has opposed the DDL Zan, an anti-homophobia law that aimed to expand Italy's existing hate speech laws to cover discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. She argued that such legislation was unnecessary, stating that "there is no homophobia" in Italy.
