Gay Latino Student Attacked For Wearing High Heels, Links Hate Crime To Trump

A gay Latino student at Texas State University says he was attacked for wearing high heels while walking home from an LGBT nightclub early Sunday.

Alejandro Camina says his attacker punched him in the face, called him a “faggot” and ran off after calling him out for wearing high heels. The incident happened as at about 1 a.m. Camina was on his way home from the Stonewall Warehouse in San Marcos, a booming college town halfway between Austin and San Antonio.

“A girl witnessed the whole thing and she helped me up and took me to the restroom of Jack in the Box to get me cleaned up,” Camino wrote on Instagram. “I was bleeding too much from my nose and I had blood all over my hands.”

He went on to link the incident to President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.
