Queer hostility and experience of violence
A new focus of the city's LGBTIQ equality coordination office is the impact of increasing queer hostility in the public sphere, better known as "homophobia" and "transphobia".
Unfortunately, non-heterosexual people are increasingly experiencing personal defamation and exclusion, even threats and violent attacks. Queerphobia and violence manifest themselves in very different forms and constellations.
