Colombia: Lesbian couple attacked

“When we got out of the taxi we were holding hands and from that moment we felt the intimidating stares of these two men. My partner wanted to vomit and asked me to open the door quickly. I don’t know why but the men thought it was about them and they started to to say ‘these motherf****ers demanding that we help them’. I heard that but I saw that the guys had a beer in their hand, and I didn’t pay attention to them. But we entered the complex and they kept saying things like ‘that they were going to teach us how to respect a man’, that what ‘we need was a man’. The truth is that I couldn’t stand it and yelled at him that we deserve respect like any other person, “said Laura.

“The guy says ‘I’m going to cut her face, so that she remembers me all her life.” He kept saying homophobic and grotesque things like ‘lesbian son of a bitch’. This is when the violence started. My wife covered me so they couldn’t continue attacking me, because they took out a knife and stabbed me in the chest, which almost killed me and they hit my partner with the bottle on the head, “Laura explained.

“Cuando nos bajamos del taxi estábamos agarradas de la mano y desde ese momento sentimos las miradas intimidantes de estos dos sujetos… mi pareja quería vomitar y me pidió que abriera rápido la puerta… no se porque los sujetos pensaban que era para ellos y empezaron a decir ´estas hijueputas tras de que les ayudamos exigentes´, yo escuché eso pero vi que los tipos tenia una cerveza en la mano no les preste atención… Pero entramos al conjunto y seguían diciendo cosas como ´que ellos nos iban a enseñar como tenia que respetar a un hombre´, que lo que ´necesitamos era un hombre´ y la verdad es que yo no me aguante y le grite que merecíamos respeto como cualquier otra persona”, dijo Laura.
“El tipo dice ´le voy rayar la cara, para que toda la vida se acuerde de mi´, me sigue diciendo cosas homofóbicas y grotescas como ´lesbiana hijueputa”… hay es cuando empieza el conflicto… mi mujer lo que hace es cubrirme para que no me sigan atacando porque ellos sacan un cuchillo y me dan una apuñalada en el tórax que casi me mata, a mi pareja con la botella le dieron en la cabeza”, aseguro Laura.
