Second case of lesbophobia in Barcelona in a few days

GAYLES.TV.- Last Wednesday on the L2 line of the metro Barcelona it happened again. Another LGTBIphobic aggression in the city. The second in two days. Last Monday, 1, in July, a man attacked a couple of women who drank something in a bar The Verneda with his son. The individual assaulted them shouting "I will kill you, bolleras"And twisted his arm to one of them. Now the aggressor is a woman. Bring a stroller.

It ensures that it has a «fagot brother»And that out of respect these things are not done in public. Although she does not respect anything and for ten minutes she insults and harasses women for having kissed. «It makes me sick to see you kissing", repeat. One of the victims takes out the mobile and records. He replies that she «he eats his mouth with who he wants«.

"The only person who interceded was a person who, in her head, was more likely to be attacked more than us, an elderly, Muslim, veiled womanqwho physically intervened when the woman tried to grab my cell phone and hurt my partner's arm”Added one of the threatened girls. «In the middle of a car full of people. Nobody moved a finger. It is very easy to put a badge on the day of pride, but LGBTQ + people continue to suffer daily violence by connivance with this type of aggression", Write on Twitter.

The aggressor insists and stands as a representative of society: «It is not that to shut up you do not see uncle, we will have to give the reason to all these people. And to feminists. What happens is that everyone is silent«. Realizing that the girls spoke Catalan, he added: “In addition, Catalan".

"Homophobia is not fixed with racism"

The couple filed a complaint with the Mossos d'Esquadra and has opened a thread on Twitter to thank for the support received:

«Clara and I want to thank you for all the support we are receiving and the dissemination that you are doing. We did not imagine that all this would have such an impact. Sorry if we are not able to respond to all the messages and answers. We try to read them all and we are deeply grateful. You make us very accompanied and strong. We also want to make it very clear that homophobia is not a matter of race, ethnicity or language. We would not like this aggression to be instrumentalized to criminalize a collective. We meet every day with similar situations. And yes, unfortunately also (especially) with men, whites, (also) Catalan speakers. In no case we want to remove responsibility from the aggressor, but to blame a specific group for a generalized problem is not wanting to review ourselves as a society. Homophobia is not fixed with racism. Once again we want to thank all who share and support the struggle. Junt * s we are more strong * s«.
