Fuck Yeah Progressive Politics!

This is a Blog about Politics the way I see it.

Most of us will have seen this image, and laughed in disbelief at the mind-numbing stupidity of someone who could get a tattoo of a quote from Leviticus condemning homosexuality, when Leviticus also forbids tattoos. Apart from the ignorant or hypocritical cherry-picking of biblical hermeneutics, it should make one stop and think about what sort of person who be so consumed with hatred that he gets a marker of that hate cut into his flesh.
The answer is horrifying. The bearer of the tattoo is one Marcel Gelmi, and the photo comes from a news clip (trigger warning for sickening violence and hate speech) where he justifies his friends’ actions in beating a gay man almost to death. Some have speculated that Gelmi’s tattoo would not have been done for a lark, but would be a badge of “honour” for a beating or even murder that he himself had committed.
I’ve laughed and facepalmed at this meme in the past. I won’t in the future.
