The beating of a gay man was caught on tape at Detroit’s Motor City Pride, a gay and lesbian friendly event, held over the weekend.
The video shows 20-year-old Christin Howard, a gay man, fighting off attackers Sunday along Detroit’s Riverwalk as the gay pride festival happened in nearby Hart Plaza.
Howard says five to eight men attacked him. At one point, all the young men joined in on the attack as Christin was on the ground, helpless.
Howard says the attack was unprovoked and that he was getting a picture taken with a friend when the young men started circling, commenting on his long hair, calling him homophobic slurs and threatening violence.
The actual video of the attack has gone viral, & is still circling around Facebook.
It's horrible to watch, especially when his friends leave him during the attack.
Why would a group of "straight" men be at gay pride anyways? And then for them to call him a homo , or F@ggot or whatever they shows they're not even there for support anyways...

It's possible that they were looking to troll the festival and pick out people to bash. The fact that they were traveling in a group makes me think that.
I bet they felt insecure and wanted to feel manly, oh i can beat this ******, but the thing is ganging up 10 on 1 is not sign of manlyness but more like sign of cowardess and weakness.
They are a bunch of insecure ******* that probably go home and jerk off to gay **** in the dark

At every pride there's always a group that does this.
And it's so vile cause would they have been on their own they wouldn't dare to say ****.
