A lesbian couple was beaten  by two men on a scooter on Saturday morning in the center [of Amsterdam]. The women reported the incident to the police, but they reported that the chance of the perpetrators being caught is small.

“Oh, you are so hot, can we join you?” They walk around 5 a.m. in the Zandstraat, a narrow alley, near the Zuiderkerk after an evening out.

The couple in love walk hand in hand, which they often do in Amsterdam. Camboim gives a reply. “Get on with it, just drive on.”

Camboim gets a thump in her face and falls to the floor. Her girlfriend is also beaten in the face. The women both have bruises, a broken lip and a swollen nose.

For the couple it is a traumatic event. “It was so frightening. We only cried at home. People sometimes look up when we hold hands, but people have never been physical”, says Sazanova on the phone.

“My girlfriend is from Brazil and I from Kazakhstan. We might expect something like this in our own country but not in Amsterdam. And then it also happens during the Pride.” She states that they have been ‘lucky’. “This could have turned out so much worse.”

Een lesbisch koppel is zaterdagochtend in het centrum door twee mannen op een scooter in elkaar geslagen. De vrouwen hebben aangifte gedaan bij de politie, maar die meldde dat de kans dat de daders worden gepakt klein is.

“Oh, jullie zijn zo hot, mogen we met jullie meedoen?” Het is een vraag van twee mannen op een scooter aan Katya Sazanova (29) en haar vriendin Ana Camboim (26), beiden werkende expats in Amsterdam. Ze lopen rond 5.00 uur ’s ochtends in de Zandstraat, een smalle steeg, vlakbij de Zuiderkerk na een avond uit.

Het verliefde koppel loopt hand in hand, wat ze wel vaker doen in Amsterdam. Camboim geeft repliek. “Rot op, rijd gewoon door.” Het is voor de mannen reden om de vrouwen in elkaar te slaan.

Camboim krijgt een dreun in haar gezicht en valt op de grond. Ook haar vriendin wordt in haar gezicht geslagen. De vrouwen lopen beide blauwe plekken, een kapotte lip en een gezwollen neus op.

Voor het koppel is het een traumatische gebeurtenis. “Het was zo beangstigend. We hebben thuis alleen maar gehuild. Mensen kijken weleens op als we elkaars hand vasthouden, maar nog nooit zijn mensen fysiek geweest,” zegt Sazanova aan de telefoon.

“Mijn vriendin komt uit Brazilië en ik uit Kazachstan. We zouden misschien zoiets in ons eigen land verwachten maar niet in Amsterdam. En dan gebeurt het ook nog tijdens de Pride.” Ze stelt dat ze ‘geluk’ hebben gehad. “Dit had zoveel erger kunnen uitpakken.”

Venezuela: School discriminates against 13 year old for lesbian kiss

Karina Barbosa

Tamara Adrián said … that the Instituto Escuela School located in Prados del Este, Caracas, denied the re-enrolment of a teenager on allegations of “bad application and bad behaviour”, this after having kissed an older [female] classmate when they were in a school transport, according to the Efecto Cocuyo web portal.

The girl’s mother, Karina Barbosa, complained to the aforementioned media that her daughter has not been the only person harmed by these school decisions. In the case of his son, he was also denied the re-enrolment process for the 2019-2020 school year, as well as the other educational transportation partner and a friend of his daughter.

With this measure taken by the Instituto Escuela school, four students are being affected by not being allowed to re-enrol.

Barbosa also worked as an English teacher at that school for six years until she resigned in 2017. Two years after having left the academic institution, she sees the way in which her children are discriminated against by administrative staff.

The kiss happened on May 17, and it was on May 20 when the campus took action against the girl to a point that the staff of Instituto Escuela began to monitor her in everything she did – this situation remained until the end of the 2018 – 2019 school year. “She had to be accompanied to the bathroom, to the infirmary, they even told her where she could sit in the transport,” said Karina Barbosa.
(Translated)

Tamara Adrián se expresó … que el colegio Instituto Escuela ubicado en Prados del Este, Caracas, le negó la reinscripción a una adolescente donde alegan “mala aplicación y mala conducta”, esto luego de haberse besado en la boca con una compañera mayor que ella en el momento que iban en un transporte escolar, reseñó el portal web Efecto Cocuyo.

La madre de la niña, Karina Barbosa denunció ante el medio antes mencionado que su pequeña no ha sido la única persona perjudicada por estas decisiones del colegio. En el caso de su hijo varón también le fue negado el proceso de reinscripción para el año escolar 2019 – 2020, así como a la otra compañera de transporte educativo y a una amiga de su hija.

Con esta medida tomada por el colegio Instituto Escuela, se están viendo afectados cuatro estudiantes los que no les permitieron el proceso de reinscripción.

Barbosa, también perteneció a ese colegio durante seis años donde trabajó como profesora de inglés y fue en el año 2017 cuando renunció. Luego de dos años de haberse retirado de la institución académica percibe la manera en como sus hijos son discriminados por el personal administrativo.

El hecho del beso sucedió el pasado 17 de mayo, por lo que fue el 20 de mayo cuando el plantel tomó la medida contra la niña a un punto que el personal de Instituto Escuela comenzó a vigilarla en cada cosa que hacía, esta situación se mantuvo hasta la finalización del año escolar 2018 – 2019. “Debía ser acompañada al baño, a la enfermería, incluso le decían dónde podía sentarse en el transporte”, manifestó Karina Barbosa.

U.K: Lesbian actor is scared to hold partner’s hand in public

michelle-hardwick.jpg

Actor said that while she received praise for her portrayal of a same-sex relationship on the popular soap, being in one in real life was a different experience.

Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwick has said she sometimes feels scared to hold her partner’s hand in public for fear of a homophobic attack.

Hardwick, who plays vet Vanessa Woodfield, told the Sunday Mirror that she and show producer Kate Brooks sometimes “instinctively let go of each other’s hands” if they see a group of young men “because we’re scared they’ll turn on us”.

“We live with that fear every day,” she said, later adding: “I feel like we’re going backwards in society with our attitudes.”

“So people who say, ‘Gay Pride? Why isn’t there a Straight Pride?’ I’ll tell you why, because you don’t need it. Because luckily for you, you’re able to be affectionate with your partner in public and you won’t be abused for it. It’s absolutely vile what goes on.”

Spain: Lesbian Couple Fight to Keep Popular Bar After Neighbours’ ‘Harassment Campaign’

bettys-couple.jpg

The Lesbian couple who own Betty’s International Music Bar, in Cala Egos, fear their venue will be forced to close after the town hall warned them about the number of calls it has been receiving.

That is despite the venue being 100% legal and holding the correct licences and after having invested more than €30,000 in sound-proofed ceilings, doors and windows.

“Our neighbours just want us out, it’s been a non-stop campaign of harassment,” co-owner Leanne Green, 37, from near Leeds, told the Olive Press last night.

“The owner of the apartment upstairs told us he doesn’t want ‘dirty lesbians’ around here and his kids who live there have spat on our terraces and sometimes we see them just staring into our CCTV cameras trying to intimidate us.”

Rasika Gopalakrishnan and Shivangi Singh Photo: Facebook/itsshivangisingh

Two women in their early twenties are going viral online for sharing their harrowing experience which they faced at a club in Chennai. The two women alleged that they were treated badly by the club because they are a same sex couple.

Rasika Gopalakrishnan and Shivangi Singh, took to their respective Facebook pages to tell their experience at a bar called The Slate Hotels.

In a long FB post, Rasika recounted her experience saying that the club apparently accused them of doing something else and insisted them to leave the premises even though they did not do anything.

“I am devastated by the assumptions that are made about people who deviate even slightly from the norm. They decided to make a ‘threat’ out of us for absolutely no good reason, and worse, tried to make us feel guilty for something we didn’t do.”

She also accused the hotel of threatening them by saying that they had a video of them making out and they would make the video public.

Images from surveillance cameras from Praia Grande city hall on the coast of Sao Paulo can help police identify men who assaulted a 19-year-old [lesbian] girl. The pair put the victim in a car and, after the assault, she was taken to a street in the Sítio do Campo neighborhood, where she was abandoned.

The victim was walking down Worker Avenue late Sunday afternoon (28) when she was approached by two men. They asked what time it was, but she ignored it. The pair kept following the girl and she ended up answering. Then they told her to get in the car. Refusing, one of the men got out of the car and kicked her leg and punched her rib. She fell and was thrown into the car.

A vítima caminhava pela Avenida do Trabalhador no final da tarde de domingo (28) quando foi abordada por dois homens. Eles perguntaram que horas eram, mas ela ignorou. A dupla continuou seguindo a garota e ela acabou respondendo. Em seguida, eles disseram para ela entrar no carro. Ao recusar, um dos homens desceu do carro e deu um chute em sua perna e socos na costela. Ela caiu e foi jogada dentro do carro.

Argentina: march organised after lesbian couple attacked

Argentina

A couple of women were attacked by a man at a bus stop in Berisso…

“She was at the bus stop, on the 30th and 163rd streets of Berisso with her partner watching a video, when a man accompanied by a lady and her children watching her, berated her and asked her why she didn’t dress as a man”, she told Télam Sandra Di Seri, of the Darío Santillán Corriente Nacional Front, an organization that includes the attacked woman.

According to the victim, the man then told her “I would kill you, I would have to kill you,”. He spat and struck her face twice, breaking her glasses and hurting one of her ears.

“Then a patrolman approached, but despite the fact that the companion explained to the troops what had happened, they did not intervene,” said Di Seril who did not want to reveal the identity of the assaulted woman since the formal complaint was not yet filed.

Según contó la víctima, el hombre luego le dijo “te mataría, tendría que matarte”, la escupió y le propinó dos golpes en la cara que le rompieron los anteojos y lastimaron una de sus orejas.

“Luego se acercó un patrullero, pero pese a que la compañera le explicó a los efectivos lo que había ocurrido, estos no intervinieron”, agregó Di Seril que no quiso revelar la identidad de la agredida ya que todavía no fue radicada la denuncia formal.

Chile

The first complaint of corrective rape against a woman in El Maule was filed this Monday at the Guarantee Court of Talca.

The legal action was filed by the lawyer Rodrigo Medina, of the Legal Clinic of the University of Santo Tomás, thanks to an agreement that exists with the Homosexual Integration and Liberation Movement (Movilh) Maule.

“The incident happened a little over a month ago and where the uncle of our client’s ex-partner raped her and rebuked her for her sexuality while committing the assault,” said the lawyer.

The complainant added that “the subject is free and my representative will testify on Friday. The complaint was made with the aggravating of article 12 number 21 of the Criminal Code Law to execute the crime for reasons of hatred towards sexual orientation.”

Lesbian unlawfully deported from UK was ‘gang-raped and fearing for her life’ after removal to Uganda

pn-protest.jpg

A gay woman who was unlawfully deported from the UK has described how she was gang-raped and has lived in perpetual fear since being sent back to Uganda six years ago.

The British government was ordered by the High Court this month to help the 26-year-old return to the UK on the grounds that its decision to reject her asylum claim was unlawful. The landmark ruling could open the door to thousands of similar challenges.

The Ugandan national, who is set to return on Monday, has also talked about the trauma of getting pregnant and having a child, who is now four months old, as a result of the sexual assault she suffered.

20 Lesbophobic Things My Male Friends Have Said to Me

by Amy Dyess

Several of my straight, gay, and bi male friends said those lesbophobic things to me. I’m butch and look very gay, which made me a visible target for sexual harassment. It’s partially why I moved from the American South, where all of this happened. I decided to share because recently the memories have been triggered. I want them out, and maybe writing about my experiences will help other lesbians.

Male friendships are tricky, no matter what a man’s orientation is. As you can see, many straight and bi male friends are really trying to hook up. Gay men project their own fears onto lesbians. Gay men have also groped me in dark, sweaty gay bars. Lesbians have to be careful around all men.

Chile: Lesbian conversion therapy as a child

Chile lesbians

By Camila Toro Aguirre

In spite of the historical advances that the movement for the rights of the LGBTIQ+ community has achieved, conversion therapies are still practiced behind the walls of numerous psychological providers in Chile.
A pseudoscientific method that seeks to “cure homosexuality” psychologically, limiting and repressing any type of sexual orientation that does not conform to heterosexuality.
However, it is proven that there is nothing good in these treatments. According to the World Psychiatric Association, those who attend these therapies often “develop addictions, suicidal tendencies, sexual disorders and depression.”
In Chile in the 2000s, Carmina Vásquez, an accomplished lawyer from the University of Chile and a member of the Lesbofeminist Network in support of the LGBTIQ + community, attended conversion therapy for the first time when she was only 14 years old.
(Translated)

A pesar de los históricos avances que ha logrado el movimiento por los derechos de la comunidad LGBTIQ+, detrás de las paredes de numerosas consultas psicológicas de Chile todavía se practican las terapias de reconversión sexual.
Un método pseudocientífico que desde la psicología busca “curar la homosexualidad”, limitando y reprimiendo cualquier tipo de orientación sexual que no se ajuste a la heteronorma.
Sin embargo, está demostrado que no hay nada de bueno en estos tratamientos. Según la Asociación Mundial de Psiquiatría, quienes asisten a estas terapias suelen “generar adicciones, tendencias suicidas, trastornos sexuales y depresión”.
En un Chile de los 2000, Carmina Vásquez, una realizada abogada de la Universidad de Chile e integrante de la Red Lesbofeminista en apoyo a la comunidad LGBTIQ+, asistió por primera vez a una terapia de reconversión sexual cuando sólo tenía 14 años.

South Africa: Judge upholds life sentences for corrective rape of lesbians

Judge Violet Phatshoane

A man who believed in “corrective rape” for lesbians has failed in an appeal against two life sentences.

Zabathini Jonas, from Petrusville in the Northern Cape, twice raped a 24-year-old woman, and told a magistrate in Philipstown that he “wanted to correct homosexual girls”.

After being convicted and jailed, the 30-year-old father of two appealed to the high court in Kimberley.

Judge Violet Phatshoane sent him packing last week, saying what he had done was “quite repulsive and unpardonable”.

She added: “The so-called ‘corrective rape’ is evil and cannot be countenanced. What [Jonas] did [to his victim] was to pulverise her sense of belonging and self-expression.”

I am Polish, I am a lesbian. I was a brave rebel, today I feel fear above all

Equality Parade

It used to be different.
Until quite recently, I was a courageous rebel. I wanted to go out into the streets, shout, protest, write letters, petitions, manifest, and give in. I had that energy, courage, strength. I was proud of it.
Today is simply bad.
I wake up in a country where every day someone compares me to a paedophile. I turn on the internet and see an ad for a newspaper supplement in the form of stickers with the words: “LGBT free zone”. A wave of fear floods me. Just anxiety, not anger, no anger. Only fear is left in me.
(Translated)

Kiedyś było inaczej.
Jeszcze całkiem niedawno byłam odważną buntowniczką. Chciałam wychodzić na ulice, krzyczeć, protestować, pisać listy, petycje, manifestować, udzielać się. Miałam w sobie tę energię, odwagę, siłę. Byłam z tego dumna.
Dziś jest po prostu źle.
Budzę się w kraju, w którym codziennie ktoś mnie porównuje do pedofila. Włączam internet i widzę reklamę dodatku do gazety w postaci naklejek z napisem: „Strefa wolna od LGBT”. Zalewa mnie fala lęku. Właśnie lęku, nie złości, nie gniewu. Został we mnie już tylko strach.

Spain: Judge remains barred over malicious prevarication against lesbian couple

Spain

The Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the Supreme Court has confirmed the decision taken at the time by the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) to deny the reinstatement to active duty in the judicial career of Fernando Ferrín Calamita, the judge of Murcia who was sentenced in 2009 to ten years of special disqualification for the “malicious” delay in the procedures for adopting a minor by the wife of the biological mother of the child.

The resolution, of which the magistrate José Manuel Sieira has been a speaker, recalls that the crime of prevarication is one of the most serious that a member of the judicial career can commit  in that it breaches (both) the essence of the Judiciary and the baseline behaviour expected of those who represent it.

Moreover, it distinguishes between the crime of malicious prevarication provided for in article 446 of the Criminal Code, for which Ferrín Calamita was convicted, and that of guilty prevarication of article 447. Thus, he emphasizes that, in this case, “we are facing a crime of greater gravity”, which does the damage to the public service is undoubtedly greater.

The events date back to 2006 when a lesbian couple began the adoption process with the aim of one being recognized as the adoptive mother of the girl that her romantic partner had conceived through artificial insemination.
(Translated)

La Sala de lo Contencioso-Administrativo del Tribunal Supremo ha confirmado la decisión adoptada en su día por el Consejo General del Poder Judicial (CGPJ) de denegar la rehabilitación y el reingreso al servicio activo en la carrera judicial de Fernando Ferrín Calamita, el juez de Murcia que fue condenado en 2009 a diez años de inhabilitación especial por el retraso “malicioso” de los trámites de adopción de una menor por parte de la esposa de la madre biológica de la pequeña.

La resolución, de la que ha sido ponente el magistrado José Manuel Sieira, recuerda que el delito de prevaricación es uno de los más graves que puede cometer un miembro de la carrera judicial en cuanto quiebra la esencia del Poder Judicial y la conducta mínimamente exigible a quien lo encarna.

Es más, distingue entre el delito de prevaricación dolosa previsto en al artículo 446 del Código Penal, por el que fue condenado precisamente Ferrín Calamita, y el de prevaricación culposa del artículo 447. Así, subraya que, en este caso, “estamos ante un delito de mayor gravedad”, lo que hace el perjuicio para el servicio público sea indudablemente mayor.

Los hechos se remontan al año 2006 cuando una pareja de lesbianas inició el proceso de adopción con el objetivo de que una de ellas fuera reconocida como la madre adoptiva de la niña que su pareja sentimental había concebido por inseminación artificial.(Original)

Italian council vice-president: “kill them all lesbians, gays and paedophiles”

Giuseppe Cannata

“And these scum continue undeterred. kill them all [these] lesbians, gays and paedophiles”. The shock sentence is signed by the vice-president of the [Vercelli] municipal council, Giuseppe Cannata, elected from the ranks of Brothers of Italy. This is how, on Facebook, Cannata commented on a post by Senator Pillon.
The post was then deleted, in a hurry but too late. Arcigay Rainbow Vercelli Valsesia, which published the screenshot, is already asking for his resignation both from the city council and from his role as vice president. But he also asks for his immediate expulsion from the medical association, adding that legal actions are under consideration in which the board itself could become a civil party.

“E questi schifosi continuano imperterriti. ammazzateli tutti ste lesbiche, gay e pedofili”. La frase choc è firmata dal vice presidente del Consiglio comunale Giuseppe Cannata, eletto tra le file di Fratelli d’Italia. E’ così che, su Facebook, Cannata commenta un post del senatore Pillon.
Il post è stato poi cancellato, in tutta fretta ma è troppo tardi. Arcigay Rainbow Vercelli Valsesia, che ne pubblica lo screenshot, chiede già le dimissioni sia dal consiglio comunale che da suo ruolo di vice presidente. Ma ne chiede anche la sua immediata espulsione dall’ordine dei medici, aggiungendo che si stanno valutando azioni legali in cui lo stesso direttivo potrebbe costituirsi parte civile.

Australia: Lesbian elder speaks about abuse as young woman and in ageing

Malloy Rolfe (left) and Dr Catherine Barrett at the 2019 National Elder Abuse Conference .

The 84-year-old gay Adelaide woman began to speak to the National Elder Abuse Conference in Brisbane in clear and simple language.
“My name is Malloy and I’m going to share a story about what it was like to grow up as a lesbian in the 1950s,” Hazel ‘Malloy’ Rolfe said.
“Then I’m going to tell you about a recent experience of elder abuse at an aged care service provider.  Sadly, the two stories are connected.”
She moved to Australia from Middlesex in the UK as a teenager in 1948.
Ms Rolfe was sexually assaulted by her now deceased father, then her mother died nine years after arriving in Adelaide.
Ms Rolfe was later treated in Adelaide with LSD and electro-shock therapy for her sexuality.
She said growing up as a lesbian in Australia in the 1950s was “simply awful”.
“I was told that if I went back to feeling like a lesbian, God wouldn’t love me,” Ms Rolfe told delegates.
More recently, she was refused permission by a major aged-care provider to speak to women at aged-care facilities in South Australia because she was lesbian.
