Brazil's supreme court votes to make homophobia a crime

Six of the Supreme Federal Tribunal's 11 judges have voted in favour of the measure. The five other judges will vote in a court session on June 5, but the result will not be modified. The measure will take effect after all the justices have voted.

Brazil's Senate is dealing with a bill to criminalize discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender with sentences of up to five years. The court's judges said the ruling was to address an omission that had left the LGBT community legally unprotected.

But wait wasn’t the media JUST saying the new leader of Brazil was a horrible conservative

How about catching the gangs that are uploading videos everyday from Brazil of them beheading rivals, shooting them dead and cutting off their limbs and laughing and joking while recording on cell phones, literally everyday, it's like Brazil is lawless. It's unbelievable.

Progress!

Good for them. These people’s don’t belong here. They should lock up all of them
