The World Outgames launched this weekend in Copenhagen and run from July 25 – August. But over the weekend, on the way home from the opening ceremony, three gay men were gay-bashed:
Police in Copenhagen are investigating an attack on three homosexual men that took place on Friday evening as a possible hate crime.
Two men, aged 28 and 33, were taken into custody after witnesses say they heard them yell ‘homo pig’ at the three, and attacked them as they returned from the opening ceremony of the World Outgames on Town Hall Square.
The three, who come from England, Sweden and Norway and are attending the nine-day event, were treated at hospital for injuries but have since been released.
The two suspects will be remanded in custody for the remainder of the nine day World Outgames event.
In better news, “Project Runway” designer Jack Mackenroth took home a bronze medal in the 200m IM.
