Brody's Notes... Europride Roma Kissing Gladiators Ad Upsets Conservatives

By Brody Levesque (Bethesda, Maryland) APR 30 | Towleroad Executive Editor Andy Towle reports that an animated video spot for 2011 Europride Roma, which features two gladiators locked in a romantic embrace is, of course, upsetting conservatives in Italy.
Stefano Bolognini, a spokesman for Europride Roma, says right wing Italian politicians have declared the ad unconstitutional.
Bolognini at Europride Roma writes that the idea was inspired by archeological graffito found many years ago in the Ludus Mugnus (The school of roman gladiators).
EuroPride Roma 2011 takes place on June 11.
