Gay Harvard student Galo Garcia assaulted
Galo Garcia, an openly gay Harvard undergraduate, was on his way to the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters Alliance (BGLTSA) “Inappropriate” party with six of his friends when an assailant reportedly slowed down his vehicle and called Garcia a “faggot Jew.” “I had my arm around a guy,” a still-rattled Garcia told The Crimson minutes after the attack. Garcia said that he approached the car upset, yelling back that these slurs were inappropriate, when the driver exited his vehicle and began to deliver repeated blows to Garcia’s head and chest. The driver had been riding with a male passenger, who Garcia said did not intervene in the tussle but was restrained by his friends. “All I really remember is a blur of punches and that I was thrown against the wall,” said Garcia. “And then the police came.”
