LGTBIQ+ phobia

Hi readers, as I comment you last week, we are developing our project and now we have been talking about LGTBIQ+ phobia. Let me start.

First of all, we are going to analyze facts. The police of the Basque Country registered 129 acts on hate crimes and hate speech, 25% of them, due to reasons of sexual orientation or gender identity. These numbers increase year after year, and reveal that this structural violence that is exercised against people who want, feel and live differently. 17 of may is the is the international day against this phobia. We go out to the streets to protest and demonstrate that the people who suffer because of this harassment and this phobia are not alone.

Talking about this day, on 17 May 1990, the General Assembly of the World Health Organization (WHO) removed homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses. Since then, May 17 has a highly significant value for lesbian, gay, trans, bisexual and intersex people as a catalyst for actions in favor of rights and against discrimination that today must face said collective.

In conclusion, we fight and we are going to continue fighting every day to get equality for everybody. I think we have a big problem if society refuses members of the community or if people votes a political party that is against the equality. We have to demonstrate that we have power, and that we are going to win. We are not going to give up. Everyone has to be accepted and in the future I want that to happen. But, for that we are going to fight, for the equality we have to shout, we have to support each other and shut up people! Remember, the 17th of May we are going to take the streets (keeping distances, obviously) to demonstrate that everyone has the right to live in liberty. It's enough! 

I leave you here our forum discussion if you want to see it. Thanks and see you soon!
