LGBT BRAZILIANS TAKE CARE WITH DATING APPS AND GRINDR, THEY WILL BE USED TO TARGET VICTIMS PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST
ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!
In Whatsapp (the most used messaging app in Brazil), if you receive a contact from a “juridical support group for LGBT+ people who are being harassed” called “REAJA”, DO NOT INTERACT!!!!!!! Apparently, this is not a real support group but it’s a trap that are targeting LGBT+ people to physically harm them. They people behind “REAJA” have very malicious intentions.
Be careful and stay safe!!!!!!!
@fairlyradmother Is this true?
Yes. And it’s also true that homophobes are using gay dating apps to target gay men. They flirt with gay men and ask them on a date, but it’s a trap, usually there are a group of men waiting there to beat the gay man up. It’s terrifying. All minority groups are at great risk of violence here in Brazil right now. Supporters of Bolsonaro’s bigotry and violent discourse feel endorsed by his victory in the polls. LGBT people are in danger, black people are in danger, women are in danger, people who have African-Brazilian religions are in danger.
And also teachers are being threatened, universities are being invaded, accused of indoctrination.
If you speak against fascism they assume you’re speaking against Bolsonaro, tag you a communist and harass you, or worse. There are Bolsominions (how we call the elected president’s followers) filming themselves pointing guns at their teachers during class as they unsuspectingly turn their backs to write on the white board.
I had no idea there were so many monsters casually living among us. And now Bolsonaro’s victory revealed them all.
