MY LESBIAN DAUGHTER æ When Enzo Tanning, Catholic and anti-fascist, celebrated eighty, his daughter Paola arrived in Avezzano Ricardo, the German girlfriend.
He saw the new parent for the first time and greeted her with kindness, but as soon as the guest uncorked the bottle of Riesling, brought as a gift from Frankfurt, said Mr. Tanning stentorian voice that German wine did not like, "You have invaded us and I will not forget." Ricarda smiling, made a toast that the war was over and Enzo Tanning also drank his glass.

Tanning (Members of the Democratic Party), Imma Battaglia (managers and civil rights activist), Titti De Simone (former MP of the Communist Refoundation) are among the very few lesbians on the scene declared the Italian public and all are engaged in the battle for rights GLBT people (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender). In Germany, Anne Will, the best known public television anchorwoman, has announced the direct relationship with a colleague. In Iceland, Johanna Sigurdardottir is the first woman to head an executive and also
first head of government in the world openly homosexual. In Los Angeles, the entertainment television star, Ellen De Generes and actress Portia De Rossi were photographed with their happy marriage, the gossip loves the torments of love between the singer Lindsay Lohan, the former queen of the Disney comedy, and the girlfriend Samantha Ronson. In Italy there are no female characters in popular television, film, sports, media, who have never openly said to love women.
. Every rumor is hard
denied (Leonia Big Brother 9 vows revenge office) or appeased with vague declarations of bisexuality, sometimes chastity. "But the visibility is everything and has to be strong, ongoing, positive," says Claudia, 26, graduated in architecture, Roman, engaged in DiGay Project, the LGBT rights organization founded by Imma Battaglia. The absence of faces, bodies, names and experiences of lesbians in the public arena does not help girls and families to come out and reduces bone that wants a collective masculine, involved in strenuous sports, scorbutic with men, even ugly. A stereotype that denies comfortable and falsifies the lives of at least one million women.

Lesbians are beautiful, funny, chubby, boring, blonde, skinny, ironic, elegant, nurses, lawyers, precarious, managers, like the All Stars and the heels, have cellulite or not, certain are masculine and / or muscular, is not an equal, just like any other women. But often parents do not know. "I had never seen a gay woman in my life before I knew my daughter," says Marisa, 64, active mother Agedo (Association of Parents of gay people).
.
Ten years ago, when he found the letter galley, the lady could not pronounce the word lesbian, "We felt inside the load derogatory. I preferred that gay was short and swift. " Marisa lesbians were "lost boys" but went with her daughter at the disco and saw "that were beautiful and feminine." Also took the girl by the psychologist, but she realized that she was having to change, he turned Aged where he was supported for some time now and help other mothers of lesbians. Marisa says of his experience: "I'm a closed and shy, but to be near my daughter went out of their shell and it made me much good." "Where did I go wrong? I've got a few Barbie? "Asked Gianfranco (Lecce), when he discovered that his daughter liked a girl.
.
Her daughter, however, had split the games with his twin sister and already in adolescence was a homosexual, the other straight. After years of pain, tears, arguments, Gianfranca Hyacinth and her husband are serene, but for a long time considered the father "a whim" that "would make this known to all, including my grandmother. At the end he made his reason: "Anna knows that we are with you and feel secure to deal with the rest of the world."
Margaret Graglia heads to Reggio Emilia is the only public clinic opened sexual orientation to parents and children. With the search modes, the largest ever conducted on the health of LGBT people and in ten years of work has observed "that the girls are coming out with the family a bit 'more than boys, fathers often have a calm reaction, but Mothers are the first to know and to engage in dialogue. In the same measure, parents fear that their daughters are discriminated against, assaulted, harassed and have to reckon with the mistake of thinking that will never be grandparents. " Graglia argues that "on average, the girls recognize and declare his homosexuality in the family a little 'later than males." Benefited from a less violent social prejudice, apparently, to female homosexuality, but in the long run, according to a psychologist, a superficial tolerance "also ends up depriving them of strong public and sexual identity."
.
Lesbians, in reality, they are widely held in the territory and on the Net There are chat groups, forums, spaces for discussion where they exchange family histories dramatic (the majority) and serene (a few, encouraging, to be made known), there are discussions on rights, sex, pornography, racism, music, fashion and gossip as in any other venue for girls, virtual or not. Freedom on the Internet, however, is not the same can be found in the reports of real everyday life in and outside the family. The number of prevalent emotional coming out (yet) the drama, tears, guilt, shame and "the inability to accept and embrace the full experience of the children so different from their own," says Maurizio Palomba, founder of 'Institute Gaycounseling.
. Perhaps the key
is to surrender, the ability to appreciate love and care that daughters have with their partner, do not pretend that everything between parents and offspring can be explained and mutually agreed. Imma Battaglia's mother is 80 years old and has four children brought up with the discipline of a soldier. To Mrs. Louise never liked that her daughter was a lesbian, much less leading the Gay Pride in the year of Jubilee (2000), but when asked to Imma, says: "It's my daughter and will defend it forever, I have given birth and I have trouble if you touch me.
