Lesbofobo attack in San Sebastian: "Let's not be accomplices to the aggressor, we respond collectively."
- A group of women have had to leave the sea on the beach of Ondarreta de San Sebastián and suffer comments, looks, photographs, insults and threats. “The lesbian puts, they give disgust, you are nothing female...” The group of friends has also highlighted the lack of support from the people in the area. They protested this Tuesday to denounce violence of this kind.
Last Sunday, women report that a man took photographs of them as they left a bathroom in the sea without clothes. When they approached to erase the photos, they added that another man constantly attacked them with words, among many other threats. In Spanish, “they emit lesbian vultures, disgust and bootstrap, you are nothing female, you are going to make scissors, debt puts… and many more. What happened is not just a mouthful attack, but a coarse, machist, putophobe, classicist, fascist attack,” they added.
It is said that, although many people have seen the situation in the area, they had not received any protection. “Let us stop painting the rainbow Kursaal, let us not be accomplices of the aggressor, let us respond collectively to the attacks,” they claim. Precisely, this Tuesday afternoon they protested to respond “firmly and harshly to this type of violence.” They have put the emphasis on the transfeminist struggle.
Gay couple fired in Ullibarri-Gamboa
Even after Anti-LGTB Day, it is significant to be reporting this type of aggression. For example, a new attack on Ullíbarri-Gamboa has been reported these days. Around the Nudist Beach of Arroiabe, a pair of men shouts “plow dirty” and throws them the stone. With the stone they beat one of the men and he denounced the Ertzaintza.
Ikusgune, LGTBI+ Observatory in Vitoria-Gasteiz, has published its annual report with data from the 2021 attacks. 27 LGBTI+phobic episodes recorded last year, highlighting that transphobia and hate speech continue to grow.
