minus-squarefloofloof@lemmy.caOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up35·10 days ago A group of strangers started harassing her and using anti-gay slurs as she left the restroom. When she walked away, she said they followed. She told the strangers she is a lesbian and flicked her wrist at them. “How it started was because I’m a lesbian — just because I walked into the woman’s bathroom, and I looked the way I look,” Grass said. Sounds like the reason it’s mentioned is because it’s why they attacked. It was a homophobic attack.
