As coronavirus rages, gay couple gets spat on & called diseased during trip to supermarket
Countries around the world are locked down in desperate bids to stop the spread of a novel coronavirus, but essential trips to grocery stores or pharmacies are still allowed in most places.
One gay couple found out the hard way though that homophobia hasn’t stayed at home. They were spat on and called diseased during a trip to the market.
Daniel Schepers and Fabio Viana were on their way to the grocery store in Amsterdam when they were accosted by a group of teenagers. Video of the incident, posted by Viana, has gone viral.
“Following the quarantine recommendations, I’ve just left home to go to the supermarket with my fiancée,” Viana wrote in his Facebook post. “We, like always, were walking holding hands, when a group of young guys started to verbally (afterwards physically) attack us saying that we were ‘fucking homos’ and that we came from ‘cancerous mothers’ and that we should die of cancer.”
