FUCK OFF HOMOPHOBES!

Check out the video.

A lot of people think that Vermont overall is a place with progressive communities and open-minded people. For the most part, they're right, but its not all null and void. Even in Burlington, people are judged for their sexual orientation.

Last night someone was assaulted at a bar at 2 AM for being gay. Apparently the assailant was mocking the kid by making feminine hand gestures.

While WCAX did cover the story, they put the blame on the victim by claiming that everybody was too drunk to see who attacked him. Thats fucking bullshit. If some gets beat up for being gay and requires 17 stitches to fix their face, then I would send a fucking man hunt out immediately. But currently, Burlington pigs are being fat and lazy. WCAX also happens to question whether it was a hate crime or not, which is bullshit, because the kid is really shooken up and knows that if he was heterosexual it wouldn't have happened. Ugh.

So this should be a wake up call for anybody who thought VT was a completely safe space. Compared to the rest of the country, it may be, but homophobia still exists!

This should give everybody a reason to confront anybody who uses homophobic slang or makes sexist comments. STOP THE HATE!
