    In that case, I think it’s valid to ask if her being queer influenced the sturmabteilung ICE officer’s decision to kill her. There is absolutely discrimination and increased violence from authorities against queer people due to them being queer, but I’m not sure if this is a matter of using disproportionate force against her due to her sexual orientation or if it’s just a matter of ICE being violent in general.

      That’s the equivalent of asking whether George Floyd being black influenced the cops’ decision to kill him, or if it’s just a matter of cops being violent in general.

      That wouldn’t be taken very well, would it?

        Did the murdering officer know that the woman was queer? George Floyd’s skin color was rather obvious to anyone close enough.

          Does she need to wear a fucking pink triangle on her sleeve for you people to stop trying to erase her identity?

            you people

            What people are you talking about?

            erase her identity

            In what way? And how does that at all relate to this?

              People like you, everyone coming here to complain in the comments that the headline described her as queer.

              What you’re doing is advocating for erasure. Don’t play dumb.

                What erasure? Wtf are you talking about.

                Her being queer has nothing to do with the murder as far as I know. Media is purposely adding this to fire some unneeded discussion. You should he outraged that they need to mention this instead of falling for the obvious bait.

                  So the news site “LGBTQ Nation” was supposed to ignore the fact that the woman murdered happened to be queer?

                  And it’s not erasure for you to say her queerness shouldn’t be in the reporting?

      Sure, but that’s not what’s being asked. People are asking why it’s mentioned that she’s queer at all, and the answer simply is that she’s queer. It’s concerning that that fact seems to be not good enough for some people.
