AVP has learned of an anti-gay hate violence incident that occurred on Sunday, March 10th in Astoria, Queens. According to the survivor's partner's Tumblr blog, which is being widely shared on online and on social media, the survivor was called a "faggot" by a man who was walking past him on the street. The survivor then followed the alleged offender down the street, filming him, and confronting him about what he had done. At one point, the alleged offender turns and shoves the survivor away from him. AVP is deeply concerned by this public incident of hate violence.
