The Pope's statements on the family
The new Pope Leo XIV recently expressed his vision of the family during a meeting with the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See. The Holy Father affirmed that the family is founded on the stable union between a man and a woman, a position that has provoked strong reactions, particularly from the LGBT+ community.
His words, spoken on May 16, were interpreted as a clear closure of the Church towards any openness towards non-traditional families.
Tommaso Zorzi's reaction
Tommaso Zorzi, a well-known influencer and winner of Big Brother VIP, did not take long to respond. Through a video published on Instagram, he expressed his disappointment with the Pope's statements, calling them intolerable. Zorzi emphasized that, in a historical moment marked by conflicts and humanitarian crises, the priority should not be to define the family in narrow terms, but rather to guarantee rights and dignity to all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation.
The Pope's words have reignited the debate on civil rights in Italy, where the fight for the recognition of gay couples is still ongoing. Zorzi highlighted how the LGBT+ community is asking for nothing more than the right to exist in peace, without being discriminated against. His criticism is part of a broader context, where issues of gender and sexual identity are at the center of public debate. The influencer also drew attention to other global emergencies, such as hunger and conflict, suggesting that the Church should focus on more urgent issues.
An influencer in the spotlight
In addition to his stance on LGBT+ rights, Zorzi has recently been in the media spotlight for revealing that he used cocaine in the past. He clarified that it was sporadic use and never an addiction, but these statements have further fueled the debate about his public figure. Today, Zorzi tries to maintain a more private life, away from the spotlight of gossip, but he continues to be a point of reference for many young people, especially for his positions in favor of civil rights.
