A well-known Georgian transgender model has been murdered, local officials said, a day after the government passed legislation that will impose sweeping curbs on LGBTQ+ rights in the country.
“There is a direct correlation between the use of hate speech in politics and hate crimes,” the Social Justice Center, a Tbilisi-based human rights group, said in its statement reacting to the murder.
Fucking sad. Just baffles me how some people can be so intolerant.
Right. And usually the loudest ones are hidden LGBTQ+ cowards.
Edit: To make it clearer - what @SorteKanin@feddit.dk said: “that most of these super intolerant people are actually closeted LGBTQ+ people that are ashamed of themselves. E.g. the at this point almost common story of an anti-LGBT politician seen at a gay orgy or whatever.” Thanks for downvoting spree, though :)
I’m not sure why they were downvoted so much - the way I read it, they mean that most of these super intolerant people are actually closeted LGBTQ+ people that are ashamed of themselves. E.g. the at this point almost common story of an anti-LGBT politician seen at a gay orgy or whatever. Or did I misunderstand what they meant?
It’s just extra hypocritical in that sense.
if it weren’t for the word “parliament” this would be a prominent Georgia or Georgia headline
