An antigay attack at a Texas airport was cut short thanks to the intervention of bystanders.
A video posted October 23 on YouTube shows an apparently intoxicated man at a Dallas airport screaming antigay slurs at a waiting passenger in a pink shirt.
At one point, another passenger in a black cowboy hat asks what is so upsetting, to which the firestarter replies: “Queers! That’s what I’m upset about. This faggot right here.”
He then begins to assault the man, an act which is cut short by the surrounding crowd, which pins him to the floor until uniformed officers arrive and place the assailant in handcuffs.
