Anti-gay hate on the rise in parts of Europe, report finds.

While Poland’s anti-gay turn received more media attention, ILGA-Europe found"growing official hate speech" on behalf of government officials in several other European countries as well: Albania, Andorra, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Finland, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Kosovo, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain and Turkey.

In addition, government officials in Armenia, Hungary, Poland and Russia banned LGBTI events last year. Turkey, which banned gay pride marches in 2015, prosecuted people last year for violating the ban. The “growing presence of anti-LGBTQ, anti-gender and neo-Nazi protesters in public places” like pride parades is raising freedom of association issues across the continent, according to the report..

Propaganda.

What?! This breaks my heart! :(

Stop spreading propaganda and people will stop responding

It’s not hate. It’s a religious belief and disagreement in an overwhelming majority of cases. The hate is being slapped in the face with it over and over again and told that we are hateful and intolerant because we have a DIFFERENT path in our lives. Be you and shut up about it.

Europe’s pretty big.. where in Europe? I’m in Germany, and I haven’t personally seen gay people being messed with.. but who knows..some places may have a rise and some places may have a fall..

Gooood!
