England.-Melania Geymonat, a 28-year-old Uruguayan woman, suffered a brutal homophobic attack during the week when she was with her girlfriend on a London night bus. A group of individuals rebuked them and wanted to force them to kiss for their amusement. When they refused and planted their faces they were beaten and then robbed.
As reported by this Uruguayan to the observer, the events occurred on Wednesday, May 29th to the 30th. Like any other night, the couple went out for a drink in the neighborhood of Westhamsted and then had to go back to Camden Town. Both she and her American girlfriend, Chris, are new to London and put themselves in the front rows of one of the two-story buses to prove it.
Right behind them was a group of at least four boys, between 20 and 30 years old. It was early morning and began to rebuke them with cries and insults referring to their sexual status. “They constantly told us to Besáramos or to do things that they entretuvieran looking at,” the girl explained to the Uruguayan newspaper. “They made gestures with their hands while they were having fun telling us” scissors, “he added on Facebook.
Seeing that the situation was very uncomfortable for Chris, Melania asked them to stop. A gesture that provoked them to start throwing coins at them until they ended up with the patience of the couple. They planted faces on them. “The next thing I know is that in the middle of the bus was Chris fighting with 3 of them and I immediately headed there. I saw her full of blood and somehow I understood gravity and I started trying to get her out of the way: The next thing I know is that I have a nose and I only see my blood. I don’t know if I’ve lost consciousness. The next thing I remember was filling up the bus that was already standing with the police taking our statement, “said Melania.
In addition to the brutal beating, the men stole a purse and a mobile phone before running out of the bus.
Melania has explained on Facebook that he wants to make known his story, as well as the shocking image that was made after the aggression, to raise awareness about the violence that homosexuals continue to suffer today.
 
The police immediately came to their aid after the attack and they filed the corresponding complaint. A Met Police spokesman has reported that they are investigating the attack and are looking for potential witnesses to the attack produced at 2:30 hours on 30 May on the N31 bus in West Hampstead.
For his part, the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has condemned the “nasty misogynistic attack” against the LGBT + community on Twitter. He has also said that the capital of Britain will not tolerate such attacks and that if someone is present one must call the police immediately.
