Gay Latvian paramedic dies after being burnt alive in horrific ‘homophobic attack

[Tannhauser]

A gay man from Tukums, Latvia, died of burns Wednesday (28 April) that nearly covered his entire body after a disgruntled neighbour allegedly doused him with flammable liquid.

His death has come to expose the fault lines of Latvia, a European Union member state that has long resisted recognising LGBT+ people.

However, the Latvian parliament, the Saeima, overwhelmingly voted to tweak the constitution to define the family strictly as a “union of a male and female person” earlier this year.

Sickening, RIP . Monsters like this deserve death penalty.

Not only gay, but also Balkan looking. Truly queer!

Terrific and subhuman, these monsters should pay the same way they they torture people.

Not only gay, but also Balkan looking. Truly queer!

And also was paramedic, he was saving lives but the most important thing for you is that he was gay

Could you be a bigger subhuman than you already are? Hardly.

Can't someone make a joke anymore? I also condemn what happened to him, only that I noticed he looks rather southern for a Latvian.

You are making a joke with a murdered person.

RIP to him and condolences to his family. I wasn't aware Latvia could be so homophobic. It should come as a refutation to some who insist Europe is completely liberal haven.

I didn't know I broke this forum's rules of conduct by making that joke.

Latvia is in the grey area between Europe and the Orient, with Russia, Romania or Greece being full blown Oriental.
