Chile: young lesbian attacked in Las Condes

No Mas Lesbophobia

The Movement of Homosexual Integration and Liberation (Movilh) denounced that a young student, identified as Martina Vercellino (20), was the victim of a physical aggression for lesbophobic reasons in the Las Condes district. According to Movilh, through a statement, the girl said that “they grabbed me, hit me in the eye, lip, and scratched me with stones on my arm, everything happened very fast and I could not react. It’s huge that these things are still happening, I do not understand how they do not realize that we are the same people and we do not hurt anyone. ”

Me pegaron en el ojo, labio y me rasguñaron con piedras en el brazo. Todo pasó muy rápido y no pude reaccionar. Es una pena enorme que aún sigan pasando estas cosas. No entiendo cómo no se dan cuenta que somos personas igual y no le hacemos daño a nadie”.

skynews-ellie-mae-mulholland_4713338.jpg

A teenager was left bleeding and bruised after she was beaten up by two other women from her school.

Ellie-Mae Mulholland, 18, of Hull, UK, said that she confronted “one of her friends” yesterday afternoon over some money that the friend owed her.

“She had seen a couple of her friends, who are usually her friends, and one of them owed her a tenner and Ellie asked about it,” Mulholland’s sister Stevie-Leigh Ansell told Hull Live. “The lass said she never had it. Then they both beat [Ellie-Mae] black and blue.”

“Because she is gay they called her a ‘F–king lesbian, you and your girlfriend are going to get it ten times worse next time,’” Ansell said.

Italy: two lesbians attacked

L2L Italy

“I hate gays and lesbians … you are the devil’s prostitutes … God hates you.” These would be some of the sentences addressed to two girls from Agrigento by a sixty-year-old man.
The homophobic aggression, both physical and verbal, took place last June 30 in a large Villaseta sales facility. The two young girlfriends say they were getting an ice cream from the bar when a sixty-year-old appeared holding hands with two children. After staring at them for a few minutes, he started screaming insults and curses, coming even to slap one of them, the girls told the carabinieri. Some people present came to help and the attacker quickly disappeared without a trace.
(Translated)

“Odio gay e lesbiche… siete le prostitute del diavolo… Dio vi odia”. Sarebbero queste alcune delle frasi rivolte nei confronti di due ragazze agrigentine da un uomo sessantenne.
L’aggressione omofoba, sia fisica che verbale, sarebbe avvenuta lo scorso 30 giugno in una grande struttura di vendita di Villaseta. Le due giovani fidanzate, a quanto raccontano, stavano prendendo un gelato al bar quando appunto è apparso un sessantenne che teneva per mano due bambini. Dopo averle fissate per qualche minuto ha iniziato ad urlare insulti e maledizioni, arrivando, raccontano le ragazze ai carabinieri, anche a dare uno schiaffo ad una di loro. Ad intervenire in loro soccorso sono arrivate alcune persone presenti e l’aggressore si sarebbe rapidamente dileguato senza lasciare traccia.

Turin, Italy: Lesbians targeted for months with swastikas inside their apartment building

L2L Italy

The swastika with a cross, the inscription “lesbians” and the initials of the two women.
A real persecution against Daniela and Cristina. Insults and threats engraved on the landing of the condominium where they live, in the Lingotto area in Turin.

After months of desperation, the couple decided to install cameras in front of the apartment to feel safer but the situation has not improved.
At the end of April, the couple turned to the Arcigay Torino circle “Ottavio Mai” and to the core of the Carabinieri of Torino Borgata. Together with the Councillor for the Rights of the City of Turin Marco Giusta, they contacted the administrator to request the removal of the writings and the installation of a sign to make the graffiti authors stop, threatening sanctions. Even this attempt, despite the support of the administrator and the condominiums, has not been useful.
(Translated)

La svastica con una croce, la scritta “lesbiche” e le iniziali delle due donne.
Una vera persecuzione nei confronti di Daniela e Cristina. Insulti e minacce incise sul proprio pianerottolo di casa del condominio dove abitano, in zona Lingotto a Torino.

Dopo mesi di disperazione la coppia ha deciso di installare delle telecamere davanti all’appartamento per sentirsi più al sicuro ma la situazione non è migliorata.
A fine aprile la coppia si è rivolta al circolo Arcigay Torino “Ottavio Mai” e al nucleo dei carabinieri di Torino Borgata. Insieme con l’assessore ai Diritti della Città di Torino Marco Giusta ha contattato l’amministratore per chiedere la cancellazione delle scritte e l’installazione di un cartello per far desistere gli autori a continuare, minacciando sanzioni. Anche questo tentativo, nonostante il sostegno dell’amministratore e dei condomini, non è servito.

Spain: I will kill you bolleras – Lesbian family attacked

Spain

“I will kill you, bolleras” [d*kes]
Two lesbian mothers were quietly with one of their three children, 4 years old, on a terrace in Barcelona, ​​just two days after having held a Pride dedicated to homoparental families, when a drunk man came and attacked them in front of the child.
The Guàrdia Urbana intercepted the man, JMLL.M. (his initials), who now faces charges of threats, light mistreatment and a criminal offence against fundamental rights or hatred. The man approached and touched the child (we do not know why) and, obviously, one of the mothers told him what he did to which the man answered with insults.
(Translated)

“Os mataré, bolleras”
Dos madres lesbianas estaban tranquilamente con uno de sus tres hijos, de 4 años, en una terraza de Barcelona, tan solo dos días después de haber celebrado un Pride dedicado a las familias homoparentales, cuando llegó un hombre borracho y las atacó delante del pequeño.
J.M.LL.M. son las siglas del hombre que la Guardia Urbana interceptó y que ahora se enfrenta a presuntos delitos de amenazas, maltrato leve y un tipo penal contra los derechos fundamentales u odio. El hombre se acercó y tocó al niño (no sabemos por qué) y, obviamente, una de las madres le dijo que qué hacía a lo que el tipo contestó con insultos.

Germany: young group attacks lesbian at Kottbusser Dam

L2L Germany

On Sunday evening, a lesbian woman in Berlin-Neukölln was attacked by a group of youths. This was announced by the Berlin police. According to recent findings, the 27-year-old had been walking on the Kottbusser Dam at around 7 pm, when she was splashed by about four to five teenagers with water. When the young woman addressed the young people, she was pushed to the ground and kicked several times.

When witnesses rushed to her aid, the attackers left the 27-year-old alone and fled. The young woman stated that she suspected she had been attacked for her outward appearance and sexual orientation. She suffered minor injuries to her torso and arms. The police state protection at the state criminal police in Berlin has – as usual for suspected politically-motivated violence – taken over further investigations.
(Translated)

Am Sonntagabend wurde eine lesbische Frau in Berlin-Neukölln von einer Jugendgruppe angegriffen. Das gab die Berliner Polizei bekannt. Nach bisherigen Erkenntnissen sei die 27-Jährige gegen 19 Uhr zu Fuß am Kottbusser Damm unterwegs gewesen, als sie von zirka vier bis fünf Jugendlichen mit Wasser bespritzt worden sei. Als die junge Frau die Jugendlichen daraufhin angesprochen habe, sei sie zu Boden geschubst und mehrmals getreten worden.

Erst als Zeugen zu Hilfe geeilt seien, hätten die Angreifer von der 27-Jährigen abgelassen und seien geflüchtet. Die junge Frau gab an, dass sie vermutet, aufgrund ihres äußeren Erscheinungsbildes und ihrer sexuellen Orientierung angegriffen worden zu sein. Sie erlitt leichte Verletzungen am Rumpf und an den Armen. Der Polizeiliche Staatsschutz beim Landeskriminalamt Berlin hat – wie bei vermuteter politisch motivierter Gewalt üblich – die weiteren Ermittlungen übernommen.

Update: Argentinian lesbian jailed for one year for resisting lesbophobic arrest

Mariana Gomez Rocio Girat

Kissing is not a crime, Enough of lesbian-hate and Absolution for Marian could be read on the multicoloured placards that dozens of activists held from ten in the morning in front of Criminal Court No. 26 of Buenos Aires. On the International LGBTIQ + Pride Day , they awaited the verdict in the trial against Mariana Gómez, accused of resistance to authority and minor injuries to the police who arrested her when she kissed her wife, Rocío Girat, and smoked in the lobby of a station. The festive chants that had been heard for almost two hours were transformed into a growing murmur of disbelief: Judge Marta Yungaro sentenced Gomez to one year in prison. She will not go to jail, but she must pay the costs of the trial.
(Translated)

“Besar no es delito”, “Basta de lesboodio” y “Absolución para Marian” podía leerse en las pancartas multicolor que desde las diez de la mañana sostenían decenas de activistas frente al Tribunal Oral Criminal Nº26 de Buenos Aires. En el Día Internacional del Orgullo LGBTIQ+, aguardaban el veredicto en el juicio contra Mariana Gómez, acusada de resistencia a la autoridad y lesiones leves a la policía que la arrestó cuando se besaba con su mujer, Rocío Girat, y fumaba en el vestíbulo de una estación. Los cánticos festivos que se habían escuchado durante casi dos horas se transformaron en un murmullo creciente de incredulidad: la jueza Marta Yungaro condenó a Gómez a un año de prisión en suspenso. No irá a la cárcel, pero debe pagar las costas del juicio.

Algeria: Lesbians killed to cleanse the family name

algeria
“A woman, in Algeria, is a shame for the family, because she is always expected to do something bad. The culture, the mentality, is like that in my country. The woman is the shame of the family. And if you are a lesbian, you are even worse,” explains Amina.

-When you talk about killing, is it literally?

-Literally. They say that they cleanse the family name. The law does not allow it, but they accept going to jail in order to cleanse the family name.

Homosexuality does not exist in Algeria. You hide or suffer the consequences. “The gays are beaten by the streets, all hit,” says Amina, “and they record it to upload it to social networks, proud of hitting a homosexual person.” “There are no women. Or they are not visible. Because if they knew their sexuality, they would be killed.”
(Translated)
“Una mujer, en Argelia, es una vergüenza para la familia, porque siempre se espera que haga algo malo. La cultura, la mentalidad, es así en mi país. La mujer es la vergüenza de la familia. Y si eres lesbiana, eres aún peor”, explica Amina.

—Cuando hablas de matar, ¿es literalmente?

—Literalmente. Dicen que así limpian el apellido de la familia. La ley no lo permite, pero ellos aceptan entrar en la cárcel con tal de limpiar el apellido.

La homosexualidad no existe en Argelia. Se oculta o se sufren las consecuencias. “A los gais les dan palizas por las calles, todos le pegan —apunta Amina—; y lo graban para subirlo a las redes sociales pavoneándose orgullosos de pegarle a una persona homosexual”. “Mujeres no hay. O no se ven. Porque de saberse su condición, las matarían”, zanja.

Three mysterious deaths and dozens of violent attacks on butch lesbians, or camionas, have put lesbians in Chile’s Fifth region on red alert.

“We call the Fifth region Chile’s red zone for lesbians because of María, Nicole and Susana,” says Karen Vergara. “There are many other attacks. Not as brutal or fatal as these but enough to land lesbians – especially camionas – in hospital. “We as lesbians are always on red alert in this town [Quillota]. Day and night, 24 hours a day 365 days a year. We feel under threat. As soon as you step out of your home you are in danger.

Colombia: lesbophobia against female soccer players by Deportes Tolima President Gabriel Camargo

In the legal action signed by the ombudsman, Carlos Alfonso Negret said that the sports leader [Gabriel Camargo] had discriminated against and degraded the players when he said that the League was a breeding ground for lesbianism, “accusing the players of being more “Tomatrago” than men.

Negret considers that the judgments issued by the courts have only been directed to the public retraction of these statements, omitting any type of protection for the soccer players who were directly affected by these unsubstantiated accusations.

She considers that despite the fact that Camargo and the directors of the club apologised through their social networks and web page, no ruling was issued to prevent discriminatory acts, to reduce the inequality gap and [to promote] the inclusion of all women in Colombia.
(Translated)

En la acción judicial firmada por el defensor del Pueblo, Carlos Alfonso Negret se manifestó que el dirigente deportivo había discriminado y degradado a las futbolistas cuando aseguró que la Liga era un caldo de cultivo para el lesbianismo”, acusando además a las jugadoras de ser más “tomatrago” que los hombres.

Negret considera que los fallos emitidos por la justicia solamente han estado dirigidos a la retractación pública de estas afirmaciones, omitiendo cualquier tipo de protección de las jugadoras de fútbol quienes fueron las directamente afectadas con estos señalamientos sin fundamento.

Considera que pese a que Camargo y las directivas del club hicieron un acto perdón por medio de sus redes sociales y página web no se emitió un pronunciamiento de fondo para evitar actos discriminatorios, disminuir la brecha de desigualdad e inclusión de todas las mujeres en Colombia.

Spain: Man jailed after attack on lesbian couple

Spain

The aggressor of two lesbian girls who were walking quietly while they were attacked, will go to jail. In addition, a fine has been imposed, plus compensation to repair the moral damages inflicted on the victims. Early in October of 2017, two lesbian girls calmly walk hand in hand by Sant Andreu, in Barcelona. So far so good, until several individuals attacked them with punches and kicks. They, without a word, attacked these two girls for being a couple, the reason – their sexual orientation.

That these things continue to happen today, makes our hair stand on end, especially when they happen in a country that has approved equal marriage for years, even more so in the case of Barcelona, ​​a very tolerant and gay-friendly city. But we are even more concerned that the individual who led the aggression enters prison for other reasons [than the assault].
(Translated)

El agresor de dos chicas lesbianas que paseaban tranquilamente mientras fueron agredidas, irá a la cárcel. Además, se le ha impuesto una multa, más una indemnización para reparar los daños morales infligidos a las víctimas.

Madrugada de octubre de 2017, dos chicas lesbianas pasean tranquilamente de la mano por Sant Andreu, en Barcelona. Hasta aquí todo bien, hasta que varios individuos arremetieron contra ellas con puñetazos y patadas. Así, sin mediar palabra, agredieron a estas dos chicas por ser pareja, el motivo, su orientación sexual.

Que estas cosas sigan pasando todavía hoy, nos pone los pelos de punta, más cuando ocurren en un país que hace años que aprobó el matrimonio igualitario. Más tratándose de Barcelona, una ciudad muy tolerante y gayfriendly. Pero más nos preocupa aún que el individuo que dirigió la agresión entre en prisión por otros motivos.

To understand the Matildas as subordinate to a coach is to misread the room; the Australian national women’s football team has always been a player-led environment. They have continued to express, to some deaf ears, they were happy under Milicic and buying into his game plan.
But the morning after their ‘miracle in Montpellier’, Kerr took aim at a new class of hater; the trolls and the homophobes.
The 25-year-old screen-captured one example of abuse, Tweeting it alongside a message: “For people getting upset about there being ‘no’ haters”.
