Italian Parents Movement (Movimento Italiano Genitori) is an organization that strives to work for the protection and safety of children using intervention and prevention methods.
For this, it promotes initiatives to counter harmful phenomena such as bullying, pedophilia, drugs and alcohol and to educate children to face everyday challenges, from driving to the internet.
In various occasions the Moige was opposed to initiatives advancing the rights of LGBT communities, in particular regarding marriage and adoption[8] and accepted therapies promoted by Joseph Nicolosi and his National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality, with a series of three lessons about sex education, claiming that homosexuality can be cured, because it is not derived from genetic or hormonal imbalances but by psychological factors called "acquired factors" and treatable with psychotherapy,[9] in contrast with the ethical code of the National Order of Psychologists which states that "the psychologist may not offer oneself to start any 'reparative therapy' of sexual orientation of a person".
[11] Moige argues that elements of mental disorder such as trauma or the absence of the father or mother during infancy lead boys and girls, respectively, to homosexuality.
[13] The Mediaset's television channel Italia 1 was criticised for showing in the afternoon WWE SmackDown[14] because of the risk of emulation by young people.
