The LGBTQ+ community in Brazil has faced a series of attacks, including murders linked to dating apps, highlighting their vulnerability and the pervasive issue of structural homophobia.
Lawyer Wanderley Montanholi noted, 'Because of structural homophobia, criminals know that LGBT people are vulnerable. They know they will be more easily intimidated.' This atmosphere of fear leads to many crimes against the LGBTQ+ population.
Gabriel, a victim of a robbery after meeting someone through a dating app, stated, 'One man put a gun to my stomach and asked me the password of my phone.' This demonstrates how dating app scenarios can quickly turn dangerous.
The profile of one assailant remained active on Hornet for weeks despite reports, indicating a potential lack of action from the platform that could prevent further harm to users.
