A friend writes from Germany:

 

Hey Linh,

 

Recently in Münster, a city in the north of Germany, during an LGBTQ event, a refugee got into a fight with a trans-man.

 

Supposedly the refugee had insulted some women there, calling them dirty lesbians and such.

The trans-man defended the women (verbally), they both got into a fight and the refugee (a chechen and boxer) hit the trans man so hard, that the latter hit the pavement and died from the wounds.

 

Now two things are funny:

 

1. The mainstream media portray this as an example of typical hatred by men towards LGBTQ people - no mentioning - so far at least - that the attacker was a muslim man from chechnya.

 

2. There is ample evidence, that some muslim men have problems accepting gays and lesbians - which is logical, they come from rigid societies where gays are condemned, sentenced to death etc.

 

A guy made a video, asking young muslims in Germany how they would react, if their daughter was lesbian or gay - the young men's answers were quite telling:

 

They would kill their daughter or slap them, abandon her, give her to state authorities, would show her real sex etc.

 

Now - these answers are of course also a sort of bragging, as young people like to do.

But they are also relevant - the violence towards gay people in Germany does - to a large degree - not come from Germans - but from young men from other cultures.

 

But to say that is a no-no - so - the problems will increase over time....
