    I have found a lot of people on other newsite on this topic commenting that "it is not his business" to tell people that, and he deserve that punch.

    Kind of a sad world where people think being a decent human being is deserved to be met with violence.


    Off topic: I wonder why it had to be mentioned that he is a dad.

    I rather wish he could have had the chance to punch back.


    I doubt anything will happen, but I hope, in absence of a returned punch that the man is found and spends a decent amount of time in jail.

    Just wondering, looking at the story of the account could this be labelled ad a hate crime?

    Sad when people have that kind of reaction, good on him for standing up and saying something to her, the woman and the man who punched him are the kinds of people who won't listen to reason, won't accept anyone's views accept their own but want others to accept their views..

    Very well said. I also think that they haven't examined their opinion or how they came to have it. Likely all they ever heard was the stereotypical, anti-gay garbage that many of us grew up hearing. Some people can see how evil it is and sadly others can't. I hope people like them will someday pull their heads out of their :***:
