Cena neenakopravnosti
Dober intervju s forenzično psihologinjo o napadih na geje (in zakaj je zakonodaja pomembna):
Why choose to actually go where the victim is–to gay areas, to cruising areas, to bars? A lot of people have pointed out that, in violence against other minority groups, people don’t tend to go where they are to harass them or abuse them.
There is the perception that homosexuals are a socially acceptable target. Repeatedly, when young people are asked, they will justify and defend targeting gay people as . . . There’s a belief nowadays that it’s not so cool to assault racial minorities. It’s not so cool to assault women, or Jews. But assaulting gays is actually something humorous to a lot of young people. It’s probably the last socially acceptable group to assault. Part of it is related to the fact that discrimination against gays is still legalized and encoded. That sends a message to young people that, if gays don’t have equal rights in employment, housing, child custody, the military, or marriage, then there’s something wrong with them, and nobody’s going to mind if we have some fun at their expense. . . .
In pika na i, ki dovolj zgovorno nakaže, zakaj imajo homofobi, kot so Ljudmila Novak, Matjaž Gams, Tadej Strehovec… krvave roke. Kje iskati razlago za napade – v psihologiji (moteni posamezniki) ali širših družbenih okoliščinah?
It’s not deviant psychology. It’s social psychology.
