Puerto Rican Authorities Accused of Tolerating Homophobia – September 21, 2010 - Latin American Herald Tribune

SAN JUAN – Puerto Rico’s gay community blames island authorities for tolerating an atmosphere of homophobia that might have encouraged the slaying of 10 of their number over the past year.

The activist of the Puerto Rico for Everyone Association, Pedro Julio Serrano, told Efe on Tuesday that there is an atmosphere of “institutionalized homophobia” that been no help in stopping the series of killings inflicted on the island’s gays.

Serrano, a leader of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community, or LGBT, said that homophobia is well established in institutions like the police and the prosecutor’s office.

Serrano’s accusations come after the gunning down of Justo Luis “Michelle” Gonzalez and Miguel Orlando “La Flaca” Soto, two young transsexuals found dead Sept. 13 on a highway in the town of Juana Diaz.

These two victims increase to 10 the number of murders since last October, when the body of the gay Michell Galindo Rullier, half naked and showing signs of violence, appeared on a San Juan beach.

“Someday, maybe, there will exist a well-informed, well considered and yet fervent public conviction that the most deadly of all possible sins is the mutilation of a child’s spirit.”
Erik Erikson

…whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:6

Important note: No disrespect meant to Pope Benedict XVI or the hierarchy, the one and only concern is the safety and well-being of children.

Kids Are Being Hurt !!!
