On Saturday night, a group of arts activists in New York City was physically and verbally assaulted by four or five men who identified as Donald Trump supporters.
One of the men, who appeared to be white, showed them his Blue Lives Matter bracelet and, according to Basillas, he “then started pointing out the queers in the group” and making homophobic comments. Pointing to one member, Basillas said, the man said: “That one looks like a faggot.” Basillas said it was very clear the men in the group of aggressors were homophobic.
“All of them were like, ‘Yay Trump, yes Trump, we love Trump.’ … Then the next thing we know, the big white guy starts attacking [one of us]. It was really confusing. It was a big brawl.
