An army officer who posted TikTok videos saying being gay goes against nature caused uproar on Wednesday, with a slew of complaints filed to the defence ministry and police.
“You should shut your ass and your mouth and work with the tools you have to become a man, in the way God naturally created you,” the non-commissioned officer (NCO) is seen saying in a video.
Accept LGBTI blasted the content, saying the man had also posted other material telling the world that if he had a gay son, he would shoot him.
“This is an unbelievable video where an NCO goes on a vile, extreme, hate-filled rampage, degrading the LGBTI community.”
According to the organisation, the NCO has a slew of videos it describes as homophobic on his TikTok page.
Both the defence minister and police are reportedly investigating the matter, while complaints have also been sent to the ombudswoman’s office.
Accept LGBTI called on the them to act accordingly, saying they should send a zero-tolerance message with their actions.
“This video is concrete proof on the need for more effective legislation for hate speech but to also educate society on LGBTI matters, through education.
“Such videos are unacceptable in a European country in 2023.”
