Hate crimes against homosexuals on the rise in Germany

The number of crimes against gays and lesbians in Germany has increased by almost a third in the past year. Is a lack of action by politicians, police and schools to blame?

German parliament, the Bundestag, may have passed a bill to allow gay marriage in June, but that doesn’t mean that homosexuals are automatically accepted in all parts of German society. Information revealed Wednesday by the German Interior Ministry shows that the number of crimes committed against homosexuals and bisexuals has in fact risen significantly in 2017.

In the first half of this year, from January 1 to July 28, there were 130 hate crimes reported connected with the victim’s sexual orientation. Over the same period in 2016, 102 crimes of the same nature were reported. That represents an increase of roughly 27 percent. […]

The rise in homophobic crime shows that the fact the law had finally passed did not mean the job had been done, according to [Green Party MP Volker] Beck. “We have equal rights now, but we can only live our lives freely if we don’t have to be afraid of violence and discrimination anymore,” he said in a press statement. “Homophobia and transphobia are problems that need to be addressed.”

Would this statistic have any correlation to the massive influx of migrants from Muslim majority countries?

Pff, Nah!

Legal recognition means more reporting. I don’t know about Germany, but here over-reporting may be used to set a political tone, score a big pay day, or settle a score with an enemy.

The Germans can either have their homosexuals or they can have their Islamists. They cannot have both, because they are mutually exclusive.

You show an amazing grasp of the obvious. It does amaze me the left’s irrational defense of the muzzies despite the fact the Moslems would toss the gays off the the nearest roof given the chance.

My wife was in the womens restroom when a man entered. She informed him that he was in the Ladies Room, he responded with “F _ _ _ you, I consider myself a woman.” I was at home at the time or I would have thrown a little hate in his direction.

Perhaps she could have gone into Chuck Norris/Charles Bronson mode.

I highly doubt the perpetrators of the heinous crimes are named Ernst, Friedrich, Hans, Heinrich, Hermann, Karl, Otto, etc.

Hmmmm. Could it have something to do with the streams of dirty-beard savages who throw gays off buildings?

The Germans can either have their homosexuals or they can have their Islamists.

You left out an option. They can have neither. I can dream...
