In February 2012, Biggio and Mandelli participated in a gala performance at the 62nd San Remo Festival. During the presentation, playing a gay couple (recurring characters from their show), they simulated a same-sex marriage officiated by Gianni Morandi. Afterwards, they sang a song, broadcast on MTV, that included lyrics that roughly translate to:
Homosexual, even my grandmother understands, is just like being a woman, without a menstrual cycle. When I go to the hospital I always cause a big scene, I want to have a son, but he should be homosexual, a little strange and a little normal.
The reaction the following day from LGBT associations and from the LGBT community was harsh, and the incident received comments on LGBT-themed blogs and websites, and made headlines in all the major Italian newspapers. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
