GAYLES.TV.- Not even two weeks ago that the year has started and we already have three victims of homophobia and transphobia in the Community of Madrid, according to the association Arcópoli.
This time it was in the neighborhood of Lavapies in the early hours of Saturday, when three individuals went to a transsexual woman to ask for tobacco and the moment she opened the bag she was brutally attacked by throwing her on the ground and hitting her repeatedly while prof
they were screaming "You are a fag".
As a result of the beating received, the assaulted woman lost consciousness and after being treated by the Samur She had to be taken to a hospital because she had multiple bruises and bruises all over her body. The severe pain suffered as a result of the blows received, prevented him from attending the meeting he had planned with the Security Councilman Javier Barberó, as reported Rubén López, member of the Arcópoli association who has already processed the corresponding complaint.
Lopez added that it is "a pretty brutal case" that comes to join the two occurred this year. The first occurred on the same day of the new year at 7 in the morning, when Luis, a boy who was returning by subway to his house in the central neighborhood of Salamanca, was the victim of an assault receiving shoves and several punches. Only one day later another person was attacked with insults because of his homosexual condition.
It is urgent that both from the Consistory as from the Assembly of Madrid greater involvement and acceleration of any legal measure that contributes to the prosecution of LGBT phobia crimes. From Arcópolis they demand that the plan of impact against aggressions that they presented to the institutions more than a year ago without obtaining a clear answer. They warn that they will not cease to demand "greater tools to be able to work for the eradication of hate crimes".
We must therefore be very alert because we already have the experience of the outbreak of homophobic violence that occurred 10 years ago when the homosexual marriage was approved. The growing social demand for the approval of a Law to regulate and normalize the situation of transsexual people can trigger reactive behaviors of rejection, harassment and violence against this group. In the hands of everyone is to prevent and avoid them.
