A father slit his son's throat for being gay in an attempt to kill him

[Behind the Aegis]

A gay teen in Switzerland said that his homophobic father tried to kill him.

The 17-year-old alleged victim, who has been identified in the media only as “Seran M,” told the Swiss newspaper 20 Minuten that he was woken up by his father standing over his bed with a knife shouting, “Are you gay? Are you gay?”

Seran said that the attack happened over six months ago. He tried to defend himself during the attack but he was cut in the throat and upper body. He managed to escape across the balcony to a neighbor’s place, and they called paramedics and the police.

He was taken to the University Hospital of Bern for treatment.

“Fortunately, he narrowly missed the carotid artery, but my trachea was badly injured,” Seran said. “I had to be put in an artificial coma.”

Did you read the article?

11. Yes.

It’s homophobia that has been empowered by blatant acts and policies all over the world that create the idea that it’s okay to judge and punish. Sanctioned by our master of acts against humanity.

This horror is a step above Christian
Re-programming or a teenager being suspended for punching out a bully while others including teachers do nothing.

But it’s all the same disease

Not really the Donald's demographic, but whatever. You've clearly put a lot of thought into this.
