ROME (Reuters) – Two leftists in Italy’s ruling coalition on Wednesday outraged fellow lawmakers by placing four dolls representing homosexual couples near the baby Jesus in the official nativity scene in parliament.

The two parliamentarians from the small “Rose in the Fist” party said their gesture was to promote the legalization of gay marriage and granting legal recognition to unmarried couples.

Bruno Mellano and Donatella Poretti placed the Barbie and Ken-type dolls in the parliamentary nativity scene, each couple lying down embraced among the shepherds witnessing the birth of Jesus.

Each of the two doll couples, which parliamentary ushers removed after a few minutes, wore miniature placards with slogans in favor of gay rights.

Maybe this is where they got the idea …

    Whether you support gay marriage or not, I have to wonder what the Nativity Scene has to do with gay marriage? How does this alteration by interpreted to support it?

    No, this seems more like the work of anti-religious zealots, rebels without a cause or possibly just plain perverts
