"Most crimes against LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) is due to "cultural homophobia": - Thanks to the machismo and the reprimand that many men have against gays and transvestites, they kill imbued with the ideology that gay men are cowards, they have money, the neighbors will not mind, and the judges will punish with mildness."
