Gay couple says they were attacked at Phoenix bar due to their sexual orientation
Instagram post from an account named gayprideapparel, which has since been removed, shared a video from Rudy Haro, one of the victims, saying that he and Fernando De Los Reyes Lugo had gone downtown to celebrate De Los Reyes’ birthday and their anniversary, and were “attacked by a lot of straight men tonight.” The video showed De Los Reyes with blood stains on his shirt.“One of the guys who assaulted us did have a gun he was trying to pull out until my friend started screaming for help. People were laughing instead of helping,” the caption for the Instagram post said.
