Of course, no jail time.Four men in Florida were sentenced to probation and community service for the vicious 2018 beating of a gay couple at a Pride event because the couple was holding hands.
The attack on Rene Chalarca and Dimitri Logonov made national headlines at the time, taking place as the two were leaving a restroom in Lumus Park after Miami Beach’s Pride parade. The brutal attack was caught on security video.
“They start to hit us, like beating us, hard,” said Chalarca.
“It was, like, instant. I got hit, and they knocked me out,” said Logunov, who said that the attackers called him a “fa***t” in Spanish. “We probably provoked them because we were walking together, holding hands. It was gay pride, South Beach was full of gay people.”
Chalarca and Logonov were hospitalized.

Gay panic defense is still legal in Florida.
Not even safe in our own establishments.

Or LGBTQs hanging out in the parking lot of THEIR bars and THEIR churches and screaming at them at everyone's library.
Supremacy is a violent drug.
