In recent months, we have been helpless witnesses of acts and aggression against people from LGBTQ communities, and sometimes these acts are extremely violent. Whenever arrests are made and the accused testify of their actions, it is always to say that they regret and that they feel aggrieved by the visibility of homosexuals or trans people.
What I will never understand, because one can be repentant once judged (let me doubt it), is that how to breathe for two people of the same sex can be aggressive for someone? I am told that the sight of a homosexual couple who loves each other brings out repressed homophobia in heterosexual people, etc., etc. I do not care! Whether they are repressed or they seek only the pleasure caused by the expression of extreme hate, an adrenaline stroke, I-m-plug!
And between us, there is much worse in society than two men holding hands, right? The rape of children by religious, the rape of nuns by religious, the new anti-abortion laws of the United States, the overdoses of Fentanyl that kill many
Quebeckers and Montrealers, the human misery of disadvantaged neighborhoods, violence against animals, the Liberal Party of Quebec (oops I digress!) … As the phenomenon towards LGBTQ continues to grow with the months, it is necessary think a little about its origins. I am not a sociologist or psychologist, but in many cases, social networks are to blame in that they disseminate images of this violence to people who do not have the intelligence to share it, let alone to post them to Twitter or Facebook! Some people enjoy seeing a gay eat a good slap and for them, it’s just funny, without thinking of the physical and moral evil that such gestures cause.
« Mobbing » is not a new phenomenon and in the age of the Internet, it is even easier to adhere to extreme and abnormal thinking by being a member of a group of people who have similar ideas. without ever seeing himself. I often see beautiful couples of all ages, straight, who hold hands by walking and, honestly, I-m-plug! Soon, we will have a gay pride in the year, everyday, and I hope that made it, the whole population will say, including the fools who want to attack the LGBTQ, « I-m-plug! » but we are not there yet!
