The Gay Party presented candidacies for the municipal elections of 2021, mainly in the cities of Rome, Milan and Turin, where Fabrizio Marazzo, Mauro Festa and Davide Betti Balducci were presented as mayoral candidates, respectively. Īmong 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 towards the singer Achille Lauro, and a request that the Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli of Milan will renamed Raffaella Carrà in tribute to her recent death and in rejection of the racist comments Montanelli made during his lifetime. 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. The party defines solidarity, environmentalism and liberalism among its programmatic pillars. The party was publicly presented on November 19, 2020, in an act led by Marrazzo in addition to LGBT activists Claudia Toscano and Vittorio Tarquini. 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. 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 August 30 the "Partito Gay" brand, which included a logo containing a band with the colors of the LGBT flag and the phrase "Europe Italy" at the top.
