Northern Ireland gay couple receive death threats
A flurry of homophobic attacks in Northern Ireland took a sinister turn this week when a gay couple woke to find graffiti on their house. Their home was covered in slogans which included "get out gay bastards" and "2 weeks or bang bang." The threats were also repeated in a letter left on the doorstep of the unnamed couple's home. The ferocity of attacks on gays in the area has increased. "This is an extremely worrying development leaving two young men living in fear for their lives. Both these men have suffered continuous homophobia and hate when all they wish for is to live in peace," the Rainbow Project said in a statement today.
