Alfredo Ormando
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfredo Ormando (San Cataldo, 15 December 1958 – Rome, 23 January 1998) was a gay Italian writer. On 13 January 1998 he set himself on fire in Piazza San Pietro (Rome) to demonstrate against the attitudes and policies of the Roman Catholic Church regarding gays. After two policemen put out the flames, he was brought to Sant'Eugenio hospital in critical condition. He died there several days later.
