„Erou”, „să-i dăm cetățenie română”. Val de homofobie în online-ul românesc după atacul de la Berlin

Following a violent attack during Pride events in Berlin, social media in Romania saw a surge of homophobic comments. Users glorified the attacker and justified violence against the LGBT community. The incident resulted in one death and 29 injuries, with the attacker identified as Abdul Ballout, a 21-year-old German citizen of Lebanese descent. While some comments supported the attack, others condemned the lack of compassion for the victims. Organizations like ACCEPT and MozaiQ highlighted a growing trend of hate speech and violence against LGBT individuals in Romania, calling for legal action against such incitement. The attack has sparked discussions on the need for better protection of vulnerable groups and the importance of compassion in society.
