This high school basketball star came out as gay. His team became the target of homophobia.
Bosacker told The Star Tribune. “I wanted to leave the court, to just leave my body at some points.”New Ulm later claimed it had punished the player in question for his behavior, though it did not disclose any details to the public.And still, it got worse.
Last week, St. Peter played New Ulm again. Fans of St. Peter wore rainbow colors to show their support for Bosacker and the team.
Still, according to Bosacker, the same player began pinching him again. Then on the bus ride back to the school, things took a violent turn.As the team drove home on a two-lane road, a pair of cars approached the bus.
One car passed the bus and swerved in front of it, prompting the bus driver to slam on the brakes. The other car then pulled up next to the bus, and the team began to panic as they heard the sound of rapid-fire projectiles hitting the side of the vehicle.Related: Illinois high school students form “Anti-Queer Association”Fortunately, the projectiles just turned out to be water beads.
