I think he's right. Despite being accepted more and more year after year in Italy, homosexuality isn't really discussed here. For example, up until I was 14 I thought homosexuality was fiction, I didn't realize it was possible for someone to love someone of the same sex. And that's because of my upbringing in a country that simply doesn't care about it ("live and let live" is the Italian motto). But in the past couple of years the subject has been rising and it's starting to be discussed in schools, in politics and on TV (mainly thanks to American shows that deal with homosexuality that are being dubbed and broadcast here, the Italian family channel "Real Time" has tons of those these days).
I'm honestly glad a celebrity as big and influential as Tiziano is not afraid to talk about it openly and make a change, and with him other huge TV personalities like Barbara d'Urso who supports same-sex rights a lot too.

Thanks for this Italian perspective. It was so different for me growing up. Glad Italy is slowly moving towards this.
