    The latest in a string of vicious attacks on LGBTQ folks in just one city:

    https://www.portlandmercury.com/blo...ders-shaken-by-reports-of-anti-lgbtq-violence

    Snip:

    It’s possible that some survivors are reluctant to report their assaults to the police—both because of a historically fraught relationship between police officers and queer people, and because of information recently brought to light by Willamette Week and the Mercury that suggests some Portland police officers have a protective relationship with Patriot Prayer, a far-right group with a history of terrorizing the LGBTQ community.

    Are the Portland police acting as accomplices in hate crimes?

    What motivates Hell-bound homophobes to engage in their depraved behavior?

    Can homophobes be cured of their sickness, or should they be locked up - or even put down - for the safety of society?

    1. Violence for any reason is unacceptable.

    2. Not all opposition to LGBTQUIAAP2S ideology is phobic, fear based.

    3. Portland is likely the most regressive left wing city in the country.

    4. The city government is entirely captured by radical regressive intersectional activists.

    5. The police are consistently hesitant to provide equal protections under the law to groups being persecuted by regressive left wing hate groups.

    6. Without evidence I refuse to believe anything these people say, especially after the Smollet incident.

    7. Patriot Prayer isn't as far to the right as Antifa and BAMN are to the left, and dont come close on violence.

    8. Police are supposed to have a "protective relationship" with all exercising their free speech.

    OP

    I've only just found out what the Q means in the acronym. 'queer' has been the only thang I could come up with, but I thought the word had been dropped from the English lexicon as being too non-PC. Ah well, y'live and learn!
    Just sharing?

    By not saying LGBTQQIP2SAA you are denying the humanity of QIP2SAA folks. Phobic.

    Probably migrants from muslim countries.
    That's usually the source of most of the hate crimes in very progressive areas.


    Because the attacker wasn't white, and they'd rather not report it than do anything that might promote reinforcing a stereotype.
