Lesbian Couple Physically Threatened By Homophobic Man As Police Say 'Just Ignore Them'
  • 6 years ago
A married couple in Portland, Oregon, say police did nothing to help them after they were targeted by a man shouting homophobic slurs and threatening them with physical violence on July 15. Posting video of the incident to Facebook, Trudy Dragoon said she and her wife, Wendy, had been crossing the street when the man, who appeared to be in his 20s, sped up his vehicle "like he was going to hit" the couple. After the vehicle made a U-turn and parked in front of a nearby home, the couple said  the man jumped out of the truck and "said something about 'beating the shit out of f***ing d***s.'"
