[1] The origins of the party date back to 2018, when Fabrizio Marrazzo (LGBT activist, spokesman for the Gay Center and former president of Arcigay in Rome) registered on 30 August the "Partito Gay" brand,[2] which included a logo containing a band with the colours of the LGBT flag and the phrase "Europe Italy" at the top.

[3] At that time, Marrazzo pointed out that the party was in an embryonic stage waiting to be able to develop it at a massive level in future elections and he hoped to capture between 6% and 15% of the votes.

[4][5] The party was publicly presented on 19 November 2020, in an act led by Marrazzo in addition to LGBT activists Claudia Toscano and Vittorio Tarquini.

[5][7] The presentation of the party generated criticism from within the LGBT community, given that they consider that civil rights cannot be defended in a sectorial manner according to each group.

[8] Among the actions of the party in its first months of activity was accusing soccer player Zlatan Ibrahimovic of homophobia for comments made at the 71st San Remo Festival, where he made jokes about the singer Achille Lauro,[9] and a request that the Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli of Milan be renamed Raffaella Carrà in tribute to her recent death and in rejection of the racist comments Montanelli made during his lifetime.
