Vladimir Luxuria (born in Foggia, Apulia, 1965) is an Italian trans actress, essayist, and television host.

Luxuria was a member of the Union coalition led by Romano Prodi, and she was a Communist Refoundation Party MP. After Georgina Beyer of New Zealand, she was Europe's first openly transgender parliamentarian and the world's second openly transgender MP.

In the 2008 election, she lost her seat. Luxuria was elected to the Chamber of Deputies by the Lazio 1 constituency in Rome in 2006 during the general election.

In the 2008 race, she lost her seat.

There were no transgender MPs reported in the world after Beyer and Luxuria's demise, but there were no transgender MPs until 2011, when Anna Grodzka was elected to the Polish parliament.

Political life

Despite the fact that her Lazio 1 constituency was perceived as a safe Communist seat, her election was not without difficulties, particularly after it was revealed that she had been a sex worker for a period of time right after arriving in Rome due to the difficulty of finding a traditional job as a transgender person. The centrist UDEUR party's leader, Clemente Mastella (a fellow coalition member) called her "a ridiculous Cicciolina." Alessandra Mussolini wrote, "better to be a fascist than a faggot," when referring to Luxuria (meglio fascista che frocio). However, Luxuria's name appeared second on the list of Communist candidates for Lazio after party leader Fausto Bertinotti's, which raised the likelihood of being elected (Italy uses a system of proportional representation).

During the election, a group of fifteen people, allegedly including National Alliance representatives, assaulted her with fennel (in Italian finocchio, a term also meaning "faggot"). The politicians in question were banned by AN; Luxuria chastised the police for the time it took for them to respond to the incident.

When Forza Italia MP Elisabetta Gardini said in October 2006 that she should not be allowed to use women's washrooms in the parliament house, she got off to a rocky start. Gardini described Luxuria's presence as "sexual violence" and later was chastised by coalition deputies for displaying prejudice tantamount to bigotry. Luxuria confessed to using the toilets for years, but that using the male lavatory will cause even more problems.

The Refoundation Communist Party, a group of left-wing groups known as the Rainbow Left, was included in the 2008 election. Nevertheless, this party gained only 3.2% of the vote and lost all of its seats in parliament. Silvio Berlusconi's center-right government swept to victory. Luxuria was not re-elected. Paolo Ferrero, the former leader of the Communist Reignation Party, said he would be open to the prospect of her return to politics as a candidate in the 2009 European Parliament election, but Luxuria said she had no plans to re-enter politics.

Luxuria has long been a zealous advocate for gay rights and has been an active participant in protests for gay rights. She volunteered to co-chair Italy's first gay pride festival in 1994 and continued her activism throughout her career as a politician; in May 2007, she attended the second Muscovite gay pride parade.

She regained clout in Italy and emerged as a champion of LGBT rights. Luxuria made gay rights a focus of her campaign and pretended to be a representative of the LGBT community, saying, "We don't want privileges, we want our rights." In addition, Luxuria has called for civil unions to be allowed for gay couples and Italy to provide political asylum to "any gays who want to enter Italy from countries where homosexuality is punishable by death."

Luxuria had campaigned for gay rights before the general election, and she had also campaigned for equality in Italy by winning the vote. In addition, Luxuria outlined her long-term support for full gay marriage equality, which is similar to Spain's introduction of the legislation. In September 2006, she said that the Vatican's enduring clout in politics, particularly in relation to gay rights, had violated Italian Constitution clauses. Luxuria responded to Pope Benedict XVI's end-of-year address in 2008 by comparing shielding the planet with "blue gender" (homosexual or transsexual conduct), saying that such remarks were "hurtful."
