  • Status is not correct "I believe this information isn't correct. The ban that the Italian education ministry passed is not legally binding. This means that fortunately schools can still use gender-neutral language. In fact, that ban is just a communication (not legally binding). https://www.fanpage.it/politica/la-circolare-di-valditara-ai-presidi-non-usate-asterischi-o-schwa-nelle-circolari/"
  • Status is not correct "Non esistono in Italia leggi che limitano le discussioni lgbt. Quella descritta è una circolare che riguarda gli atti pubblici https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_LGBTQ_issues"
