Calling someone gay you can report for harrasing on youtube

School can be challenging for any pupil, but many LGBTQ+ young people face an alarming amount of bullying and harassment. Homophobic and biphobic bullying is where people are discriminated against and treated unfairly by other people because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual person, trans or questioning or perceived to be. People who are not woman loving woman, gay, bisexual, transitioned or questioning can also experience homophobic and biphobic bullying if someone thinks that they are.

Transphobic bullying is where people are discriminated against and treated unfairly by other people because their gender identity doesn’t align with the sex they were assigned at birth or perhaps because they do not conform to stereotyped gender roles or ‘norms’.

  Gay Latino journalist reports far-right YouTube personality for harassment, the company sends mixed signals

  A gay Latino correspondent publicly reported years of harassment to YouTube this week, setting off yet another round of escalating criticism regarding how the video sharing platform polices content on its site.

  On May 30, Vox's Carlos Maza tweeted that Steven Crowder, a self-styled right-wing shock jock and YouTube personality had allegedly harassed him for years.

  "I've been called an anchor infant, a lispy queer, a Mexican, etc. These videos get millions of views on YouTube. Every occasion one gets posted, I wake up to a wall of homophobic/racist violence on Instagram and Twitter," Maza tweeted.

  "That being said, I'm not mad at Crowder. There will always be monsters in the world. I'm f------ pissed at @YouTube, which claims to support its LGBT creators, and has explicit policies against harassment and bullying," Maza continued.

  The report ‘LGBTIQ equality at a crossroads: progress and challenges’ captures the experiences, views and challenges LGBTIQ people face in Europe. It also highlights the changes since FRA’s previous surveys in 2019 and 2012.

  The findings reveal signs of slow but incremental progress. While discrimination against LGBTIQ people remains steep, it is gradually failing. Schools deal with LGBTIQ issues more positively and proactively, and young people feel more supported by their teachers and peers. Nevertheless, bullying, harassment and violence have reached upper levels.

  The key findings of the survey include:

  • Openness: over 1 in 2 are now open about their sexual orientation, gender persona and expression, and sex characteristics. But most still avoid holding hands with their same-sex partner in public for fear of being attacked.
  • Discrimination: over 1 in 3 face discrimination in their daily being because of who they are. This is a slight decrease from 2 in 5 in 2019. Yet, discrimination remains hidden as only 1 in 10 report incidents.
  • Violence: over 1 in 10 experienced violence in the 5 years before the survey, slightly more than in 2019. Over 1 in 3 intersex people were
    

    Hate crime

    The law recognises five types of hate crime on the basis of:

    • Race
    • Religion 
    • Disability
    • Sexual orientation 
    • Transgender identity

    Any crime can be prosecuted as a abhor crime if the offender has either:

    • demonstrated hostility based on race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity

    Or

    • been motivated by hostility based on race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity

    Someone can be a victim of more than one type of hate crime.

    These crimes are covered by legislation (Crime and Disorder Execute 1998 and section 66 of the Sentencing Act 2020) which allows prosecutors to apply for an uplift in sentence for those convicted of a loathe crime.

    The police and the CPS hold agreed the accompanying definition for naming and flagging dislike crimes:

    "Any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice, based on a person's disability or perceived disability; race or perceived race; or religion or perceived religion; or sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation or trans person identity or perceived transsexual identity."

    Can an employer discriminate against me because of my sexual orientation or gender identity?

    Your rights

    Employers with 15 or more employees are prohibited by Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Execute from discriminating on the basis of sex, and the U.S. Supreme Court held in 2020 (Bostock v. Clayton County), that firing someone on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity is sex discrimination. In addition, many states and cities have laws banning this kind of discrimination, and some of those laws apply to smaller employers.

    If you believe that your rights have been violated

    If you think that you have experienced discrimination at work, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), or with your state human rights enforcement agency where applicable. Try
