Ronnie Magro from Jersey Shore didn’t just fight in front of the cameras — he also went on a homophobic tirade and spewed anti-gay slurs during an altercation on the boardwalk .

And the footage has finally come to light…

Reports TMZ;

It all went down minutes before Ronnie’s first brawl on the show — in which he and another bar patron could be seen talking trash to each other and then exchanging blows on the shore in front of their girlfriends.

But in the new never-before-seen footage — Ronnie can also be seen and heard calling the guy a “f**king f**got” and a “f**king queer.”

Doing their best to keep “reality” out of the reality show, MTV never aired the footage. Watch it here: (more…)

Seattle gay man attacked outside community center amid anti-gay slurs

Posted Friday, January 8, 2010, Filed under: Washington (State)

A man told police he was beaten Sunday night in the parking lot of the Seattle Filipino Community Center because he is gay, and police arrested the man who allegedly made homophobic threats after the assault.

The suspect, 22, posted bond and was released from King County Jail on Monday night.

According to SLOG:

When officers arrived, the victim, a black man in his early 20s, said he and his female friend had left the community center to grab something from her vehicle.

Upon returning to the building, two men in their earlier 20s confronted the man. The men — one of whom the victim knew as a friend of his cousin — trapped the victim between two cars, and they “then punched the victim with closed fists on both sides of the victim’s face,” the report says. “Then both suspects began to yell at the victim and stated ‘You gay motherfucker.’”

Security staff working for an event inside the community center responded to the assault and apprehended the man that the victim knew. The second man, the police report says, fled the scene while yelling, “I wanna beat your ass, you gay ass motherfucker.”

The suspect posted bond and was released from King County Jail on Monday night.

Police arrest man for tagging anti-gay slurs in Seattle neighborhood

Posted Friday, December 18, 2009, Filed under: Washington (State)

A man suspected of spray-painting homophobic slurs on a number of West Seattle buildings was arrested Thursday morning, reports KOMO-TV.

Ryan J. Cox, 31, was arrested without incident and booked into King County Jail.

Cox was arrested in May for spray-painting the same gay slur on many businesses and a garage door. And it was that garage door that incriminated him.

The owner of the garage grew tired after being tagged seven different times. In hopes of catching the vandal, he installed a hidden camera across the street and snapped pictures of the artist in action.

Police believe the pictures show Cox spray-painting the slur.

“This is a hate crime, in my opinion,” said the victim, who wished to remain anonymous.

Hate crime is a felony punishable by serious jail time.

Last May, Cox was charged with only misdemeanors for his anti-gay graffiti, and spent one month in jail.

Jacob-Piwowarczyk St. Louis Police are investigating an attack early Saturday outside a nightclub, and while police say it’s too soon to tell whether this will be categorized as a hate crime, the victims believe they were targeted because they’re gay, reports KSDK-TV.

Jacob Piwowarczyk says, “I have a soft tissue bruise on my elbow. I have six stitches in my eye and I have a mild concussion.”

These are the physical reminders, of a night Piwowarczyk won’t soon forget. He and two friends were leaving the Complex Nightclub when it happened.

Piwowarczyk says, “They came up out of the car and they start calling us faggots.” (more…)

KC Chiefs drop Larry Johnson following gay slur

Posted Monday, November 9, 2009, Filed under: Newsmakers, Sports

The Kansas City Chiefs released controversy-plagued running back Larry Johnson on Monday, the day he was scheduled to come back from his two-week suspension.

On his Twitter account two weeks ago, Johnson questioned Chiefs coach Todd Haley’s competence, insulted followers and used a gay slur.

He repeated the gay slur the next day to reporters and subsequently suspended for two weeks.

”We decided it was in the best interests of the Kansas City Chiefs’ organization to move forward at this time,” Haley said.

This latest incident was not the first trouble for Johnson.

The Kansas City Star reported Johnson was accused of aggravated assault in 2003 and misdemeanor domestic battery for waving a gun at his ex-girlfriend, but the charges were dropped because the running back entered a domestic-violence program.

In 2005, Johnson was accused of pushing a woman to the ground at another KC nightspot, but the charges were later dropped.

Full story at the Kansas City Star.
