Police Release Video of 4 People Wanted for Brutal Beating of Gay Man in Phoenix: WATCH

Police are searching for four people wanted in the brutal beating of a gay man in Phoenix, Arizona.

FOX10 reports: ‘[Cesar] Marin said he had been driving his convertible with his music turned up when he stopped because a woman was crossing the street in front of him. That woman stopped and looked at him. “And I just yelled out, ‘go ahead girl’, telling her to go ahead and cross, and she just started staring me down and took an extra long puff of her cigarette, and flicked the cigarette right at my face,” said Marin. Marin said the woman also called him a derogatory name. Marin then pulled over, got out of his car, and tried to find the burning cigarette butt. That’s when Marin said he was ambushed and beaten. The four suspects are described as a tall black female with long braided hair, a white female with light colored shoulder length hair, and two men with beards.”

Marin told the station that he believes he was beaten because he is gay.

Beto O’Rourke Denounces Homophobic Hecklers After Pete Buttigieg is Repeatedly Harassed at Texas Campaign Stop: WATCH

Mayor Pete Buttigieg was interrupted by five hecklers in a 10-minute period during a speech to Democrats in Dallas, Texas on Friday night. The hecklers were organized by Randall Terry, who also organized the heckling Buttigieg received when he was in Iowa last month.

Said Buttigieg after the hecklers began: “I’m thinking of that scripture that says blessed and do not curse.”

After one of the hecklers was escorted out, Buttigieg recalled “that moment when I was packing my bags for Afghanistan for the purpose of defending that gentleman’s freedom of speech.”

Later Friday night, fellow candidate Beto O’Rourke denounced the hecklers, tweeting: “Texans don’t stand for this kind of homophobia and hatred. Mayor Pete, we are grateful you came to Texas and hope to see you and Chasten back again soon.”
