Attacks on LGBTQIA Youth Investigated

15/09/2022

LGBTQIA advocates have long argued that anti-gay people are just murderous thugs who are unstable and prone to violence, even against the defenceless. Well, this week Pink News reports that a heterosexual male in his twenties has been arrested after two incidents of attacks on young people who were attending Great Yarmouth and Waveney Pride in Norfolk. A girl in her early teens was verbally assaulted with the man apparently using religious extremist arguments to justify his outrageous behaviour. Later on, a boy of just thirteen sustained injuries after being beaten up. Police said he was attacked for “expressing his sexuality and wearing a Pride flag”. GYWPride’s committee called it a “horrific hate fuelled attack” and told PinkNews it has attempted to offer the victims support and to reassure them they are not alone. We will fight to make Great Yarmouth a safer place for the LGBTQ community,” GYWPride concluded. On web forums, many LGBTQIA people also offered solidarity to the two young people abused by the suspect. “Here we are again”, wrote one gay man, “religious person is violent and attacks children. These half wits are the real menace to society”.
