Coronavirus Spread Due to Gay Marriages!

Iraqi Minister Mukteda Sadr , one of the most influential figures in Iraqi politics, rejected science and blamed the worldwide outbreak of the coronavirus for gay marriages. Sadr criticizes both Iraq and the whole world.

Iraqi Minister Mukteda Sadr has been criticized for accusing countries of the coronavirus epidemic that has legalized legal marriages around the world. Sadr is called to stop targeting gays and think about science.

What did SADR say?

Sadr said in his social media post on Saturday that one of the main causes of the crown virus epidemic was the legalization of gay marriage and urged governments that had legislated in that direction to “resign” immediately.

THE ENGLISH AMBASSADOR: WE ARE PROUD OF THIS LAW

One of the first reactions to Sadr came from the British ambassador to Baghdad, Stephen Hickey. “Britain is proud of the law of equality, it will not change that law. Instead, let’s work together to build a better base based on medical and scientific advice and win the fight against the corona virus. ”

“TAKES THE FEAR OF UNKNOWN”

Amir Ashour, director of IraQueer, who defends the rights of homosexuals in Iraq, replied to the minister and said: “We believe that these tweets not only scientifically mislead the public, but also seek to transform the current situation into a weapon and use people’s fear of the unknown to intensify homosexual attacks. ” he said. Ashour also claimed that Mukteda Sadr had previously committed torture and murder.

“Shame”

Rasan NGOs said: “Iraqi politicians continue to deceive their nations and avoid accountability. It’s a shame and surprising that a name like Mukteda Sadr doesn’t know what’s going on, but accuses an excluded part of society as a source of Covid-19. ”

 

LGBTI People Have A Higher Risk Of Coronavirus

A coalition of organizations is sounding an alarm about how LGBTI, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex  people are more likely to catch and suffer from coronavirus than the rest of the population.

The National LGBTI Cancer Network organized an open letter signed by over 100 organizations that lists reasons LGBTI people should be taking extra precautions to avoid the disease, which was just labeled a pandemic by the World Health Organization.

Related: HIV medication was just used to cure coronavirus

The letter asks public health organizations and agencies, health professionals, and the media to understand that LGBTI people are “particularly vulnerable” to coronavirus, listing three main reasons.

First, LGBTI people are 50% more likely to smoke than cisgender, heterosexual people, according to the letter. Coronavirus is a respiratory disease and smoking – and likely using e-cigarettes as well – reduces immunity to respiratory diseases and makes recovery from those diseases take longer.

Second, LGBTI people have higher rates of both cancer and HIV, both of which can compromise a person’s immune system. While doctors don’t believe that people living with HIV whose viral loads are undetectable are at significantly greater risk of getting coronavirus, many LGBTI people either don’t know they have contracted HIV or are not managing it well.

Last, LGBTI people face barriers when it comes to access to health care. Discriminatory attitudes are common enough among medical professionals that some LGBTI people avoid or delay health care, and job discrimination and LGBTI homelessness mean that many LGBTI people don’t have access to health care.

The organizations note that the estimated three million LGBTI elders in the U.S. are particularly at risk. Coronavirus has a mortality rate of eight to 15 percent for people over the age of 70, according to the World Health Organization, and elder LGBTI people may be more reticent to seek medical care when needed.

The letter concludes with a list of measures people in positions of power can take to help address LGBTI people’s risks when it comes to coronavirus, including targeted public health campaigns, training health care workers to provide equal care to LGBTI people, and working with LGBTI health organizations.

“As LGBTI+ community and health leadership, the undersigned organizations offer to stand shoulder to shoulder with the mainstream health leadership to make sure we learn from history and do not allow any population to be disproportionately impacted or further stigmatized by a virus,” the letter concludes.

Burning gay puppets in Croatia sparked controversy

During a weekend festival in the small town of Imotski, in the south of Croatia, a model representing homosexuals was burned in front of hundreds of people.

Funeral music was playing in the background while the model in which the two men hugged was on fire and the crowd made cheerful noises.

The incident occurred a week ago after the Croatian Constitutional Court ruled that same-sex couples could participate in childcare projects and temporarily have children who needed care and attention.

President Zoran Milanovic expressed his anger through the social media account and said: “Sad, inhuman and unacceptable. Hatred and intolerance towards those who are not like us will never be part of the Croatian tradition.” he said.

Hate crime trial opens
Milanovic also asked the organizers of the festival, which many children attended and watched, to apologize to the public.

Officials from the Raibow families, the organization of “gay parents,” announced that the statement they issued had committed a hate crime and that the organizers would be prosecuted. Organization director Daniel Martinovic told euronews that he was surprised by the verbal support from the country’s politicians and said: “To be honest, we did not expect as much support.”

Croatian tradition

The organizers of the festival argued that the burning of dolls and representative models at festivals in Croatia was part of the country’s satirical tradition and remained true to that tradition.

It is true that puppets and models of politicians and public figures have been satirically burnt at Croatian festivals. If the court accepts the case, it will be the first against tradition in this country.

The book model was burned in 2018

During the festival, which took place in Kastela in February 2018, a large model of the first book on “homosexual parenting” was burned by the organization Rainbow Families.

Croatian law has allowed gay marriages since 2014, but the country’s conservative segment wants this practice to be lifted.

Homophobia is now a crime İn Switzerland

The first results were announced in a referendum asking whether the law on hate crimes in Switzerland had been extended and whether homophobia was sanctioned or not.

According to this, 62 percent of the votes in favor came from legal regulations, which include discrimination and homophobia from a sexual point of view in the area of ​​crime.

The Swiss Parliament decides to expand existing laws prohibiting racial discrimination and commits hatred, discrimination or provocation against people on the basis of sexual orientation.

Pre-referendum surveys showed that the anti-homophobia law had found great support despite opponents who believed it would violate freedom of expression.

It should be noted that the result is the victory of the gay community in Switzerland.

Before the referendum, it was indicated that the race was face to face and that a support rate of more than 60% was difficult.

The result on Sunday showed that the public is more sensitive to discrimination than expected.

Some religious groups have rejected the bill.

France Removes Transgender From Psychological Disease List

French health minister Roseline Bachelot, who said transgender people will be excluded from the “mental illness” list in May, signed a decree last week. Immediately afterwards, Iran made it clear that it could make the same decision. Everyone is watching the Chevrilmishken World Health Organization, the President of the Idaho Association spoke to Joel Bedos and transgender people in Turkey.

Isn’t this a situation where a person feels the opposite sex, how the opposite sex wants to be and has not yet been accepted by society? Stop saying, “I accept the gender identity of transgender people.” We remember them with shame for our moral understanding. We succumb to our transphobia and close all doors in front of their faces. We endure sex work and consider it “shameful”. We are not talking about their victims of honor killings. Who knows how many transgender people are infected with their blood and body?

Short-Term Freedom of Homosexuals in Russia

Afanasy Shaur, a member of the Russian Baltic Fleet, organized an extraordinary gay wedding in Petrograd in January 1921.

Guests included 95 army soldiers, including retired soldiers and a woman in a man’s costume.

There have been no such activities in the city yet.

Shaur went out of his way to organize an extraordinary party because he did not think that many guests would come if he had an ordinary party.

On the other hand, bread and salt, one of Russia’s traditional wedding ceremonies, was not lacking in things like family permits and concerts.

At that time, the gay community in Russia experienced a short period of tolerance.

After the October Revolution, the Bolsheviks rewrote the country’s laws. In the two criminal laws of 1922 and 1926, homosexual relations were not defined as crimes.

But the marriage in Petrograd was not seen that way.

Afanasy Shaur was a member of the secret police and all of the guests were arrested during the wedding.

It turned out that Shaur had organized all the events to make his bosses happy. Shaur argued that these retired soldiers were counterrevolutionaries who wanted to overthrow the young Red Army from within.

But Shaur’s accusations did not hold up. The case was closed and nothing happened to those accused of “counterrevolutionism”.

Homosexual men had founded clandestine communities in Russia long before the revolution, and they knew each other by their “secret fashion options”.

San In St. Petersburg, there were red bows or scarves in which they sewed the back pockets of their pants.

Others preferred to apply blush and mascara on their faces.

After the revolution, more and more people started to imitate this style with the popular “Stummfilmstar” makeup.

While the revolution and the conflicts that followed were difficult for Russia, homosexuals in Europe could not wear fancy clothes and luxury accessories like homosexuals.

The persecution, although legal, continues

The Bolsheviks were indirectly influenced by the German scientist Margnus Hirschfeld, who founded the Institute of Sexology in Berlin. Hirschfeld argued that homosexuality is not a disease, but a natural expression of human sexuality.

Although homosexuality was not a crime in the penal code of the 1920s, the gay community continues to be prosecuted. Gay men were often beaten, threatened or fired.

Others said they lived by writing sincere letters to psychiatrist Vladimir Bekhterev, whom they saw as their last hope. Some of the homosexuals who saved their savings asked for help to get rid of the depression, and others said, “Treat our disease.”

These letters and other documents show how courageous the homosexuals of that time were, and some of them looked like real women when they wore women’s dresses and corsets and stretched their hair.

“Aristocrats” and “people”
Interestingly, gay men continued to divide according to their social strata, even though the revolution eliminated class division. The two gay communities have rarely interacted with each other.

The first of these groups were the “aristocrats”, including nobles, civil servants, high-ranking soldiers and creative intellectuals.

The other community was made up of “people”. Even their names were given by aristocrats. Among them were people like soldiers, sailors and employees who had not been invited to the impressive halls of Saint Petersburg by aristocrats before the revolution.

In the 1920s, the “transvestite theater”, in which everyone in Germany wore clothes of the opposite sex, became popular among Soviet gays. She was particularly fascinated by the star of the Berlin nightclub “El Dorado”, Hansi Sturm.

“Aristocrats” rarely invited handsome “men” into their souls. But men in female clothing were exempt from class divisions.

Their closets were full of beautiful costumes sewn by professional tailors. They hired some of the famous tailors from Petrograd, Leifert.

Before the revolution, Leifert made costumes for the dancers of the Mariinsky theater and was also a supplier to the royal family.

Unhappy end

There was no significant marriage or detention in the 1920s after Afanasy Shaur caught the “counter-revolutionaries” with an extravagant gay marriage.

Although homosexuality is tolerated, the gay community began to lose their freedoms in the 1930s.

Turkey, One of The Most Homophobic Countries Against LGBT

Association to combat child abuse and neglect: Everyone has the right to live their life the way they want.

The Association to Combat Child Abuse and Neglect, which confirmed that the march of honor was valued differently by different social classes, conducted a study to see LGBTIs from their own eyes. Turkey is currently there, but the Ottoman Empire is one of the countries with majority intolerance to the last four fathers, Sultan Abdulmecid of LGBT. For the first time in more than 150 years, the association reminds that homosexuality is a crime of being away: “We ask you because I wanted everyone’s life. He called to say at least one person in his area he has the right to live that everyone has the right to love what he wants. ”

Pointing to a family who consulted a psychologist working at the Psychological Support Coordination Center, the club asked that the “homosexual behavior” of their 15-year-old son be treated as the main reason for conducting this study. When it was said that this is not a disease and therefore it is not possible to treat it, the mother said: “If your son says cancer, he can accept it. But it is not possible to accept what he says. Let’s go to another specialist. ” and the family separated.

The research work prepared by the association includes numerous articles, international research work and expert opinions as follows:

“We wanted to go abroad first. In the decision of the governor of the State of California,” studies on the treatment of homosexuals are prohibited because they have no scientific and medical basis. “Homosexuals are all murdered 24 hours a day in Brazil, where there is the greatest participation in the March of Honor in the world, while the rainbow-colored flags of religious terrorist organizations are hanging in front of a police station in the United Kingdom to represent solidarity with Iraq, Syria, Libya One of the questions asked to measure tolerance for homosexuality in an international survey conducted by the Netherlands was “No.” 85% of the answers in our country were “No.” Other than that “No” reasons, although “Yes” is the main common characteristic of those who say that an LGBT has been granted, that they speak or have worked together, according to this study, Turkey is one of the most intolerant countries in the world against LGBT.

“Abdulmecid had banished homosexuality from the crime”
Some of the countries in the same category as our country; Zimbabwe, Ghana, Morocco, Rwanda, Iraq, South Korea. Homosexuality is a crime in almost all of these countries. Abdulmecid, the father of the last four sultans in our country, had banished homosexuality from the crime more than 150 years ago.

According to the International Association of Lesbians and Gays, the number of LGBTI people worldwide is just under 3,000 million. “Gays are inferior to pigs and dogs,” he said. “We love the Creator for the Creator,” said Zimbabwe. Should the geography in which Yunus Emre grew up fall into the same category? Should the geography in which Mevlana Celalettin Rumi grows grow together with the Middle East countries where they marry using violence to correct homosexuals, where lesbians are raped, and the police and militia who take up their duties, not as Crimes apply? Law?

AYM: “Deviant” is hate speech, it is a crime
Given that the Constitutional Court has ruled that a “dissenting” discourse is contrary to the Constitution and is considered a hate speech crime. The State Council found that the layoff of the gay teacher was illegal and decided in favor of the teacher. A delegation from the Supreme Criminal Court sentenced the murdered father to life in the head of his 17-year-old homosexual son and uncle, who he instigated. Memoranda of Understanding; Instead of “sexual preferences”, we had prosecutors who could print the phrase “sexual orientation”.

While it can copy examples, our country; How true is it in the same category as countries like Rwanda and Ghana? Of course, our country and the world today weren’t easy on LGBTI rights. Especially those working in the entertainment industry became very violent and jobs were ransacked.

The general expectation, of course, is not that a governor will join the Pride March and hide a rainbow flag in his hand. However, tens of thousands of people are taking part in this march, a
