@JepJep92 Violence against HBT persons is on the rise in Sweden as well.
This is not a good development.

All the comments on this video... Religion should not be a factor in whether or not someone is allowed to live their life without discrimination. A good person should be able to see the cruelty of discrimination and act against it without being obligated by the promise of heaven or fear of punishment from their deity. Not to mention that all this shit about Islam, Islam and Christianity are such similar religions, to hate Islam is like to hate Judaism. LGBTQ are not hurting anyone. Leave us be.

@decontaminate01 What you see in the media? LOL I rest my case.
-
@TheLagunaSunrise well no i dont have any statistics, im just going by what i see in the media lol. there are a lot of middle eastern people that ive seen in swedish media, and theyve all been gay friendly and non religious. most blend in pretty well with swedish society. it is the small slum-like areas in sweden that are filled with muslim immigrants. and they are the one not integrating with swedish society.
-
@decontaminate01 "many of them are becoming atheists"... of course though, you cannot provide any statistics from any credible sources to back up your statement. I wonder why... ;-)
-
@TheLagunaSunrise sweden will be a muslim country? no. while the middle eastern population is growing in sweden. many of them are becoming atheists, as that is the norm in sweden.
-
@JepJep92 And Sweden will be a Muslim country soon. lol
-
@TheLagunaSunrise youre right, to call opposing homosexuality "primitive" would insult things that are "primitive"
-
@MrDucaysane yes your believing in god is corrupting human nature
-
@designkid5555 I have been doing nothing but 'facepalming' at your stupidity this entire time.

lol all the idiotic statements against homosexuality here are unbelievable. All the ignorance is amazing. I'm thankful that in Sweden people are more accepting and tolerant of others. But hey, if Africa was so grand, why do most people want to move away from it?

@TheLagunaSunrise Rejecting gay rights is part of an old, ignorant, and prejudiced mind set. But, it's all good, because as the world evolves and people become more intelligent, homophobia and other types of discrimination will begin to phase out. Peace!
