On Saturday, Australia celebrated its LGBTQI communities as Sydney held the annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. But, there was no rest for homophobes.
In a shocking incident ABC Sydney crime reporter Mark Reddie and his gay friends were targeted by homophobic hoons just hours after the parade. “We were leaving a Mardi Gras party and there was a group of four of us.
We were walking along Riley Street and a car screeched on its brakes and threw boxes of eggs at us. They sped off laughing. As we walked up the road, there were egg shells everywhere.
Clearly they were targeting the LGBTQI community – gay hate crimes still exist,” Reddie told Star Observer.Reddie had first posted about the incident on his on Sunday around 3.50 am AEDT, soon after.
