A 27-year-old German gay rights activist who was attending a LGBT conference in Belgrade, Serbia is in critical condition after sustaining “life threatening” injuries from an attack Saturday.

Three men have been arrested in connection with the attack – which was captured on CCTV footage, PinkNews reports:

Dusan Jovanovic, deputy director of the hospital where the man is being treated, said the man [whose name has not yet been released] has undergone surgery but is still in a “serious condition”.

He suffered internal bleeding and head injuries in the attack.

It is thought that he was set upon by a gang of men who screamed about “foreigners” in Belgrade, following the gay rights conference.

It’s unknown how much (if any) the man’s sexual orientation played a part in the attack. Anti-LGBT sentiment is rampant in Serbia though, with the government frequently shutting down planned gay pride marches

At New York Fashion Week, designer Betsey Johnson’s “celebration of freedom in marriage” bridal drag ball was a smash hit – with gays, drag queens and wedding dresses galore.

Euronews reports:

“Trendy and transgendy. It’s a riot. It’s been the most fun to work on this show. A lot of more new, more abstract ideas. See-through plastic dresses and dresses made out of scuba fabric and horse hair,” she said.

Johnson’s naughty bride-themed collection for next season, cheekily named “Prenup”, featured some rather unconventional outfits, including one shimmering number made out of tin foil cupcake wrappers.
