evidence: Since the beginning of June, a false story has been circulating daily on social networks, in different countries and in different languages, claiming that Giorgia Meloni’s government has introduced a "Family Pride Month" in Italy to support so-called "traditional families". This event would be the Italian government’s response to Pride Month, which celebrates the pride of the Lgbtq+ community and its fight for civil rights every June. [...] On June 3rd, Paul Golding, leader of the far-right group Britain First, shared on Twitter the video reposted by Radio Genova writing that, while other countries were celebrating Lgbt+ Pride Month, Italy launched "‘FAMILY Pride Month’ with a massive march" in Rome. The same day, the false story was reposted by Sachin Jose, an Indian Catholic journalist and activist with over 100,000 Twitter followers. Jose’s tweet in English explicitly quotes Prime Minister Meloni saying that the Italian government launched a Family Pride Month to "promote the traditional family" and to "counter" Pride Month. Up to June 16, Jose’s tweet had received more than 37,000 likes and around 5 million views on Twitter. To counter the so called ‘Pride Month’ Meloni’s Italy has launched ‘Family Pride Month’ which will promote traditional family. pic.twitter.com/JAkPf0C884 — Sachin Jose (@Sachinettiyil) June 3, 2023
