The topic is quite hot in the net at the moment. What do you pay attention to when choosing what to write ?

I can’t say I’m surprised by this report. However, I do think it is important that the European Union is recognizing the still all-too prevalent bias against glbt folks across Europe. Hopefully the EU member states will be even more forceful in adopting pro-glbt legislation.

Also, the report is a bit lengthy, but worth a read. Here’s the link to the EU’s agency’s website, follow the links to the glbt report and you can download a copy of the 160 page report (there are TWO, Part I (which came out some time ago) and Part II (which is the topic of this article):

All this hatred can be laid at the feet of religious dogma. We need more people to speak out about the lies that the church spew. Congrats to the “Lancet” medical magazine for calling it like it is.

Muslims absolutely are NOT part in Europe right now. That’s just crap that Fox News puts out. The countries with the most homophobia are Italy and Eastern Europe where there aren’t many Muslims. In Italy we get by just fine with skinheads, neo-fascists, the Vatican and macho mediterranean culture

I am so horribly sick of the situation in Italy and I hope that help will come soon from the EU. My old neighborhood is covered with swastika graffitti and my friends are afraid to go out to bars in Rome (you need a special gay identification card to get into in Italy!) since several people been stabbed in front of it and the bar has been set on fire. Plus no hospital visitation, no next-of-kin status, no immigration rights for foreign partner in Italy either.

Che situazione di merda..

LG, your governments need to wake up and curb Muslim immigration. They certainly do not want to assimilate into the given countries. They want to take the countries, put them under Sharia Law and not accept any deviation.

Muslims are no doubt a LARGE part of the anti-GLBT problems in Europe. It seems wherever they go, hatred, violence, death and destruction follow. If that is “God” – please send me to “hell” happily.

I just wonder what will happen to Europe when Muslims become a majority there

Eastern Europe should NEVER have been allowed into the EU! Cheap labor rates got them their free pass and we(gays) have to pick up the tab as usual. Truly f*ckin’ repulsive! I’d like to see someone drop a humongous H-Bomb on the Vatican and their sickk twisted cabal of child molesters! Death to you Pope Ratsass and all perverted catholics worldwide!

I had no idea the situation was so bad in Italy, although the lovely Vatican being wedged in there should have been a clear clue.
As for the others, they are really third world “nations” milking the geographical proximity for all it’s worth. Why they were allowed to join the EU in the first place, I’ll never understand…
Ah and the lovely Poles now display signs like “No Irish need apply” after they flooded the Irish work market for years with cheap and unskilled labor – comes to show what they intend to give back to the EU!

The Catholic Church, Conservative Christians of any denomination and the Islamic faith are single handedly responsible for the violence and death incurred upon GLBT people in this world. Through their intentional lies and distortions, they reveal themselves not only as immoral but about as close to evil as can be found in this world today. Sad, sick people attempting to “play God” because they are such ignorant and arrogant people.
