Italy's neo-Fascists stirred more anger among gays when their leader, Gianfranco Fini, said homosexuals were all right as long as they 'don't try to seduce me', Reuter reports from Rome.

Mr Fini, whose National Alliance is a partner in the ruling coalition, was reacting to a storm over comments by a neo-Fascist candidate for the European Parliament, Piero Buscaroli, that gays belonged in concentration camps. Franco Grillini, head of the Italian gay rights group Arcigay, accused Mr Fini of racism and added, 'Fini is in no danger of being seduced because he makes us sick'.
