    “Under the reform, discriminating against workers on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity is no longer a punishable offence. It is also no longer a punishable offence to beat a person without causing injury on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity.”

        “without injury” is probably defined so any physical attack that doesn’t have a broken bone or amputation, e.g. 99% of all assaults that are bruises, lacerations that bleed but heal, etc. wouldn’t be “injury”. So assaulting a stranger you don’t like the look of or beating your child who “isn’t right” is now not punishable.

        Clearly freedom and righteousness’s heart grew 3 sizes this day.

        Rules for assault and domestic violence are a bit of a mess in Spain in general, there’s some things that just aren’t covered.
