From ANSA:
The Vatican added its voice on Wednesday to a wave of protests over the use of a newborn baby in a publicity campaign to combat anti-gay discrimination.
As a key part of its campaign, the regional government of Tuscany plans to use a photo of a baby whose hospital identity bracelet bears the French word Homosexuel.
The caption on the photo, which is soon expected to appear in poster form on billboards all over Tuscany, says: “Sexual orientation is not a choice”. “Doing a publicity campaign like this is not a good idea. This is a bit strange. They shouldn’t have gone that far,” said Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican Secretary of State.
