Thus, Quebec has released 24 million dollars to fight against homophobia and transphobia.
Perfect.
But one question burns on my lips, a question that can no longer be asked in this era of political correctness…
How much of this money will go to combat homophobia and transphobia within cultural communities?
The list of homophobia
Let’s stop burying our heads in the sand…
Homophobia and transphobia are very present in certain communities.
Think about these images that we saw this year, showing Muslims angrily trampling on the rainbow flag to protest against the teaching of gender theory in Canadian and Quebec schools.
These homophobic and transphobic demonstrations were not taking place on the other side of the world, but here, at home.
Last year, the Observatory of Inequalities (an independent organization responsible for taking stock of inequalities in Europe and the world) established a list of the most homophobic countries in the world, where the practice of homosexuality is illegal and punishable by prison sentences or even corporal punishment.
We find Algeria, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Morocco, Sudan, Tanzania, Jamaica, Bangladesh and Iraq.
In Saudi Arabia, Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria, Brunei and Yemen, same-sex relations are punishable by death.
And in Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan and Somalia, the death penalty can also be used against gays and lesbians even if the law of these countries does not officially sanction homosexuality.
I’m not saying that immigrants from these countries are all homophobic. But they grew up in countries that say homosexuals are the devil incarnate.
It must leave traces…
Radio silence!
Several years ago, for the show The Francs-Tireursat Télé-Québec, I interviewed a left-wing man who campaigned for gay rights in the Netherlands.
The man (who, I remind you, campaigned all his life in left-wing parties) told me that we were seeing a marked increase in homophobic attacks in his country. And that there was a direct link between this rise in homophobia in a country which has always been liberal and open, and the arrival on the territory of the Netherlands of a wave of immigrants from Muslim countries.
This interview was never broadcast. Télé-Québec (which was beginning to begin its shift which led it to now become Télé-Woke) found that it was too “delicate”.
Hear: not politically correct enough.
Saying that some countries are more homophobic than others is “dangerous,” it seems.
Oh, condemning the homophobia (or violence against women) of native Quebecers, certainly, of course, let’s go!
But the homophobia of certain immigrants?
No, silence!
It does not exist!
It’s only among white people where gays and women are shamelessly hit!
So I ask my question again: what part of the $24 million released by Quebec will be used to combat homophobia and transphobia within cultural communities?
