gay hate crime

An unknown woman shouted slurs at the two men holding hands before she pulled out her pepper spray.

The driver shouted homophobic slurs at the couple before he called other drivers over to beat them.

The victim’s family wants the FBI to get involved in what they believe is an anti-gay, anti-black hate crime.

His rage-fueled attack lasted half an hour, as the couple tried to escape on foot and then by car. He punched the window out of the car to continue the rampage.

When they refused to give the blackmailer any more money, they were attacked with tear gas by four masked men.

This is the fifth time she has been the victim of an anti-gay hate crime.

Police are still looking for two other suspects who attacked the gay couple in New York City.

LGBTQ people face immense violence and discrimination. These stories helped humanize the statistics and made other victims feel less alone.

They punched one of the victims in the face and then kicked him when he was on the ground.

The night started with insults and ended with violence.
