I find it funny you're using this post to attack Middle Eastern peoples (you're not going after these men, you're going after the entire group) for being "barbaric" but then turn around and also treat women like shit and I promise you that a majority of the people here would absolutely beat a lesbian couple to death. I guess homophobia and violence are only okay when you do it. You don't care about the victims, let's be honest: you just want to use their story to justify racism. No justifying what these men did, but you seem to have more concern that they're a different race than you rather than they're criminals and that a lesbian couple got attacked.
The entire group is united by a shared ideology that explicitly says doing this is their god-given duty. We are right to condemn Islam for their belief that Mohammad is a suitable role model, and everything they do in his name.
We're the ones who built a society where a lesbian couple feels safe enough not just to walk around in public as a couple but also to talk back to ten men who openly dislike them. The victims' own behaviour proves your lie.
"We're the ones who built a safe society for LGBTQ+ people!"
Over 300 anti-transgender bills were written in America in 2023 alone. 91 of those were about banning transgender health care, like estrogen and testosterone pills (which non-trans people also use). 39 of those were sports bans whose wording can also include any feminine cis man or masculine cis woman, or even cis people with different body types and hormone amounts. 44 were forced-outing bills, which could result in higher risks of suicide, self-harm, youth homelessness, child neglect, and censorship. 27 of those were bans on drag shows, regardless of the content actually within those shows. Some are for adults only, some are more age-appropriate. Same goes for pop concerts. Some pop concerts are appropriate for kids, some aren’t. Does this mean we ban all pop shows because some are inappropriate? Some bills were also worded that any man dressed feminine or any woman dressed masculine on stage or performing in general could be held under these laws (regardless of context, intention, or sexuality and gender of the performer.) …This doesn’t mean the bills will all pass, but they were made and attempted to be put in place. Some bills have already been approved. American Gov. Spencer Cox infamously shot down a bill that would ban transgender teenagers from participating in sports because it only affected four kids in his entire state. Let me repeat that: they are willing to make entire bills to ruin the lives of just four kids. This is oppression. And if you really support freedom of speech and defense of rights, you’d be pro-LGBTQ+ yourself lest you be a hypocrite.
Most of these attacks on the LGBTQ+ community were done by extremist religious groups and far-right political politicians alongside their followers. A majority of their arguments for these bans, bills, and attacks against the LGBTQ+ community were actually not primarily science-based as they preached. A majority of their arguments for these new laws were based in religious misconception and political dogma, with biology and objective facts from actual scientists and doctors not even being considered:

You just said that the LGBTQ+ community doesn't exist, but also believe gay people exist? Congratulations for the contradiction, you hypocrite. Like it or not, you have to share a planet with queer people. Suck it up, buttercup. That's called being a mature adult and learning to tolerate people you don't like. It's a part of life.

There's no such thing as LGBTQ+. You get no pro-gay points for being pro-trans, because the trans movement is anti-gay.
