    According to a new report released Sunday, 3,309 cases of hate and violence against the LGBTQ community were reported to the Association for LGBTQ Equality in Israel in 2022.

    Twenty-five percent of all reports of anti-LGBT incidents occurred during the months of November and December, after the elections and around the time the new government was being sworn in. This is an increase of about 11 percent compared to 2021, when about 2,971 cases were reported. The association reports that the increase is part of a continuing trend in the number of reports in recent years.

    But Israel is totally an LGBTQ safe haven, guys…

    Like what’s the threshold here? How homophobic does a group of people have to be to justify genocide? Can the same argument be made towards Republicans, since a majority of them are homophobic?

      Thanks for the info, it sure is telling.

      Just can’t think that a question about LGBTQ shouldn’t be if you “support” it? I mean do I have to “support” a hetero guy & a hetero girl being together?

      Maybe questions should be like: do you like that people love eachother, or do you think you should have a say in how people feel?

      IDK, hopefully the future will be better. Right guys? And gals! And transbians! And all of you glorious loving people out there!
