Proud of this piece of work!

With the irreplaceable @fedetrastulli.bsky.social

LGBT+ political representation involves critical factors like party ideology, activism, and visibility.

We interviewed several Italian LGBT+ politicians to explore how they navigate these dynamics👇

❓How does Italy handle LGBT+ policies? Curious about the context behind Meloni's govt decision not to sign the EU declaration? Is equality a problem?

This wasn’t an easy piece to write.

It explores the vulnerability of being LGBT+ scholars working on LGBT+ politics, and how we manage to resist.

Proud to have had the opportunity to be part of this conversation.

Don’t miss the entire issue!
