The couple shared a brief kiss. Then one of the attackers told them, “Aren’t you guys ashamed to kiss here?” A gay couple was brutally beaten by men in a bar after they kissed. When they complained to the police, they were told that they shouldn’t have been kissing in public in the first place. (…) Nicolas said that they left the bar, but then four or five people followed them out to the street. It’s “impossible to remember exactly what happened, it was so fast,” he said. “We didn’t even have enough time to turn around before they started punching,” Eric said. “I had had two beers, so I was sober enough, but I was seeing red. Really.” “I fell, I got back up again, I got a punch in, I got punched some more, then I fell down again,” he continued. Hearing the noise, other people came out from the bar and the alleged assailants ran away. The couple went to the police station to report the attack, even though Eric said that he didn’t believe the police would actually help. And he was right at first. “One of the officers who talked to us said the same thing as the bar’s manager, that we shouldn’t be kissing in public,” Eric said. Other officers, though, told them to get a medical exam and then file a complaint.
