darkchylde 14,857 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 The number of homophobic attacks more than doubled in the three months after the Brexit vote, with toxicity fostered by the EU referendum debate spreading beyond race and religion, new figures suggest. Hate crimes against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people increased 147% during July, August and September compared to the same period last year, according to the LGBT anti-violence charity Galop. Statistics from the police have already documented a spike of hate crimes against ethnic minorities and foreign nationals. Few analysts predicted a rise in hate crime based on victims’ sexual orientation, however. Galop gave support to 187 LGBT people who had suffered hate crimes in the three months that followed the referendum vote, compared with 72 in the same period in 2015. The rise is proportionately higher than other hate crime rises in the wake of Brexit . More than 3,000 allegations of hate crimes were made to UK police, largely in the form of harassment and threats, in the week before and the week after the 23 June referendum vote, a year-on-year increase of 42%. On Monday the Home Office will publish comprehensive hate crime reporting figures covering the year until April 2016, although sources say they will also include an addendum addressing the post-Brexit spike. The figures are also expected to focus on Scotland Yard’s progress in tackling disability hate crime. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/oct/08/homophobic-attacks-double-after-brexit-vote?CMP=share_btn_tw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATCAT 60,978 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 This could be attributed to more reporting, and not a spike in activity. Besides, what does an EU referendum have to do with LGBT hate crime? This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkchylde 14,857 Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 i think that nazis have gotten away with their racist agenda by promoting the brexit idea into ignorants and bigots and their hate includes lgbt people so this was to expect. imo, britain messed up HARD with the brexit decision and it will not only affect their economy but also the way people think about their country (not the promised land anymore) and increase the intolerance and hate within the nation.

They're also the type to pride themselves on having no-filter, "I speak my mind and I don't care who gets offended" personalities. I'm essentially saying that a lot of them have fought back against minorities who they feel perpetuate their problems and this is the result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
