BRAVO GIUSEPPE POVIA!!!!!!

Homosexual activists enraged; complaint filed with European Court of Human Rights

By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman
SANREMO, ITALY, January 23, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Italian singer Giuseppe Povia is making waves in Italy with his new song recounting the conversion of a homosexual to heterosexuality.
The piece, which is to be performed for the first time at the Sanremo Festival* in Sanremo, Italy on February 21, tells the true story of Luca di Tolve, a young man who recently spoke of his conversion in the Italian newspaper Il Giornale.
Tolve attributes his former homosexuality to the divorce of his parents during his childhood, when his father left. "I remained alone in a feminine environment, playing with dolls. It is a mistake to believe that people are born gay," he said in the interview. "You fall in love with a man because that is what you would have wanted to be."
"Homosexuals experience a frenetic emotional nomadism," he went on to say. "It is understandable, like anyone, they look for something different from themselves. If in the other they find only something similar, the relationship can't be more than fleeting and compulsive. Stability and fidelity can't exist in the gay world."
Povia stated last December that he has converted two homosexual friends to heterosexuality, both of whom are now married, and said that "one is not born homosexual, but is converted to it." He is also known to have participated in the 2007 Family Day in Rome, organized to defend the right to life and family values.
Homosexual activists, enraged by Tolve's account and Povia's song, have accused Tolve of lying, and have begun a Facebook account to bring together those who wish to prevent Povia from singing at the Sanremo Festival. The organization "Arcigay" has reportedly threatened to disrupt the event.
In addition, European Parliament Deputy Vittorio Agnoleto has reportedly presented the case to the European Court of Human Rights and has asked the Parliament to review the song, claiming that its lyrics constitute a violation of the rights of homosexuals.
____________
This just shows how post-Christian Europe has become. If you tell the truth about the homosexual lifestyle, even if from personal experience, then you are condemned. Can you imagine their being the same outrage if the song attacked the Catholic Church. Except from the Church itself, I can't. The Court of Human Rights & Parliament would both throw out any complaint showing scorn & disdain toward whoever tried to defend the Church.
This is the same European Parliament that tried to push a constitution that ignored Europe's Christian heritage (the heritage that made Europe Europe) & extolled its pagan roots.
& don't forget, this is the same Europe that is upset with Papa Benedetto for reminding people of what the Catholic Church teaches about homosexuality. The Netherlands has begun an investigation into the Pope & many political leaders have attacked him for opposing homosexual marriage.
Then there was the outrage by the radical left, gay groups, and much of the media at the 2007 Family Day in Rome, Più Familia (More Family). That event wasn't organized by but it was supported by the Catholic Church. It drew 1.5 million participants.
& this is the way things are heading here in the USA as well. Think of the reaction to the Catholic Church's support of Proposition 8 in California. The persecution of Christians is coming out in the open more & more. We need to keep standing up & to be willing to speak out no matter what. They need to know we won't be silenced. Whatever the cost for speaking the truth, we will pay it.
Let's hope & pray that Sanremo doesn't give in to the pressure & ban the song. If they do ban it, then it will show how pazzo things really are over there.
*Sanremo is the premier music festival in Italy. It helped launch many careers & songs. Andrea Bocelli & Eros Ramazzotti are just a couple of artists who owe their success to an appearance at the festival. Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu, also known as Volare, was performed at this festival for the first time by Domenico Modugno in 1958.

    What a bunch of hideous drivel. What's wrong with you? What is it within you that make you need to "convert" people? Very sad, very pathetic. Seek help!

    Here are the English lyrics to the song, "Luca era gay."

    INTRO:
    Luca was gay and now he’s together with her, Luca speaks from his heart, Luca says I’m another man.

    1st VERSE:
    Luca says: Before telling you about my sexual change, I want to clarify that if I believe in God I can’t recognise myself in human thought which is divided on this matter, I haven’t gone to psychologists, psychiatrists, priests nor scientists.

    I’ve gone into my past, delved into it and found out a lot about myself.

    My mother had too much love for me, her love turned into full obsession with her convictions, her attentions wouldn’t let me breathe.

    My father used to take no decisions and I could never talk with him, he was away at work all day, but I had the feeling that wasn’t the truth, that’s why Mum asked for divorce, I was 12 and didn’t
    really understand my father, he said ‘that’s the right solution’ and started to drink after sometime.

    Mum always spoke badly of Dad to me and used to say ‘never get married, for God’s sake.

    She was sick jealous of my girlfriends and my identity was growing confused.

    Chorus:
    Luca was gay and now he’s together with her, Luca speaks from his heart, Luca says I’m another man

    Luca was gay and now he’s together with her, Luca speaks from his heart, Luca says I’m another man.

    2nd VERSE:

    I’m another man now, but at that time I was looking for answers, I was ashamed so looked for my answers in hiding, some used to say ‘it’s natural.’

    I studied Freud and he didn’t think the same, then high school finished but I didn’t know what happiness was, a big man made my heart shake and that’s when I knew I was a homosexual.

    I had no inhibitions with him, he courted me and I thought that was love, yes with him I could feel myself, but then it became like a competition on who made the best sex.

    I felt guilty, sooner or later they’ll catch him, but if evidence disappears he’ll be acquitted.

    I was looking for who my father was in men, and I used to go with men not to betray my mother.

    2nd Chorus:
    Luca was gay and now he’s together with her, Luca speaks from his heart. Luca says I’m another man.

    Luca was gay and now he’s together with her, Luca speaks from his heart, Luca says I’m another man.

    SPECIAL:
    Luca says: For 4 years I’d been with a man through love and deceptions, we often betrayed each other.

    I was still looking for my truth, that big eternal love, then I met her at a party, among a lot of people, she had nothing to do with it all, she listened to me, undressed me, understood me. I only remember that I missed her the day after.

    This is my story, only my story, no illness, no recovery.

    Dear Dad, I’ve forgiven you even though you’ve never come back here.

    Mum, I often think of you and I love you, and sometimes still see your reflection.

    But now I’ve become a father and I’m in love with the only woman I’ve ever loved.

    Final Chorus:
    Luca was gay and now he’s together with her, Luca speaks from his heart, Luca says I’m another man.

    Luca was gay and now he’s together with her, Luca speaks from his heart, Luca says I’m another man.

    I have also left homosexuality and receive threats for simply sharing my personal experience.

    Why would something "good" and "right" have to be defended by intimidation, personal insults, and threats? Why won't you let people share their stories?

    For my story, go to this link:

    Thanks for this post!

    Bravo Giuseppe. How brave you are to be free to tell the truth of Luca's story.

    Gege'Bau Did You know, that there are people suffering who DON"T WANT a homosexual lifestyle, and not from pressure from others either, but because THEY DON"T WANT IT. Non religious people, DON"T WANT IT and are suffering to find help and hope. YOU are a bigot and sad, LET THEM find their own way, if they want to heal the emotional wounds of their childhood and LIVE the life THEY WANT. LET them be free to find the way to live the heterosexual life THEY WANT!. Whatever happened to freedom of choice, without you deciding for them, If they want to live the gay thats their business, but if they want out LET THEM don't be a fool, there are so many who try to commit suicide when they think they may be gay, BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT TO BE, so LET them LIVE, and find their own way. You need to seek help for trying to keep them in the box, they don't WANT to be in.
    Bravo Povio for having the courage to tell a nation it's ok to choose to get out, it was Luca's story FOR HIM. Maybe you are selfish because you want these young handsome, hurting vulnerable men to be gay so YOU can USE them. so you are validating the old saying is true, 'misery loves company"
