Raging Homophobe Checked By Cowboy Hat Wearing Bystander

"An angry man was caught on video last week attacking a fellow passenger at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, apparently because he thought the man was gay. But then, a group of bystanders, including a man in a cowboy hat, quickly took action to bring the man down, according to the video.
WARNING: The video, and description below, contain some NSFW language.
Before the fight, the man in the cowboy hat tries to intervene.” *

@Devin Brown congratulations on misunderstanding pride.

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

@Devin Brown there is in a society that frequently sidelines, stereotypes, or "others" you, where you have to really think about your safety before going outside. I've been screamed at for holding another man's hand a lot. Just holding hands. I and many many others gave been told that while someone has no problem with us in principle, that they'd really like to pretend we don't exist. A couple of trans friends have been assaulted more times than I can count. Children are often considered "not ready" to know about LGBTQ+ people, but it's fine to foist expectations that they will be straight and cisgender. Those things are not small. There are a great many more resources you could learn from that are far more articulate than I am. Perhaps you could consider that there might be something more than your internal monologue and beliefs before making assertions.

[@fishcious]

I simply don't understand why men are homophobic. I wish more men were homosexual...less competition.

[@darklyresplendentone]

Because the majority of "straight men hating gay men" is derived from their own personal issues with homosexuality (i.e. they are in the closet, they feel shame from some other areas in their life, they have low self esteem in their own sexuality or feel threatened by gay men, etc.). I totaly agree with you... More gay men = less competition to get women. So why all the hate? Everyone is happy. #dothemath #getoverit

[@joshuabassett7069]

And that is what make the world a beautiful place. If we all looked the same and if we acted the same than the world would be a BORING place. Can't you see! Diversity is beautiful!

I was a security guard and the unfortunate thing (or fortunate depending on who is a guard) is that if anything happens, we can’t touch people unless we are directly attacked. Some places even tell you to run instead of fight back. Basically, you’re not a cop. You don’t have any more authority than the person you’re supposed to be dealing with. You are a liability to the company if you harm someone while working as a security guard. You can and will be fired if you get physical trying to help people.

[@jeffersondavis1299]

[@_annoyed4692]

I don't get your guys... what does it matter whether pink is a "gay" color or not? The victim could have worn a rainbow flag as a cape and a picture of the village people tatooed on his forhead for all I care. Attacking people for their sexual orientation, perceived, imaginary or real, is a hatecrime. I would find it much more understandable if the fat guy had attacked the victim for fashion reasons.

[@kennethcoleman1378]

No they aren't. Real men would have stopped the verbal assault not stand there and do nothing ALLOWING it to rise to the point of a physical altercation. It's like arresting and releasing a teen to his parents after finding out he made threats to shoot up a school and then weeks later having to come back to the school and disarm him after he killed 10 students. The comparison is that it all could have prevented due to the obvious signs that it would escalate if not stopped. They should have stepped enough when he was being verbally abusive, not just stand there and watch.

Suddenly I was being "all in their face with my sexuality, of course it's okay to be gay, but you don't have to keep confronting people with it." Of course, if you're straight and say a girl is beautiful, that's a whole different issue... The rules are not the same for stright or LGBT people. We've still got a long way to go.

Nick Coltrane Ha, ha. That is exactly what I thought too. Fucking perfect.

[@theblackrosedaughter]

John Raymond And somewhere there's probably a kid doing a facepalm going " God dammit Dad "

[@johnraymond420]

LOL.

[@mathias290]

But clearly racism does not exist anymore in this country...

[@jimbovids2934]

What the fuck does this have to do with racism

[@mathias290]

The last quote: "Let me tell you the reason why I did it: Because this is America, that's why. The same reason you get to live and breathe and *walk black*."

[@mathias290]

Granted, it could be interpreted differently. But what I don't get in that circumstance is why race was even brought up if he wasn't extremely bigoted towards black people and obviously bigoted towards homosexuals.

[@ImbaSoulDC]

Racism will always exist, and will probably get worse now with more and more multicultural integration and economic instability.

[@blognewb]

Ansgar Feicht Multiculturalism and economic instability are not causative of each other. Go travel the world, to Singapore, Malaysia.

[@MyNguyen-gv2ip]

What!? A man wearing pink! I AM SO OFFENDED>:0 Lol

[@cecilyoung5042]

It is a very sad day when one cannot wear a shirt regardless of what color it is and get attacked ! I hope that the man who was attack file a law suit against the air port .

[@mynameispaul0530]

i saw that dude at a Trump rally

[@4tniteborger936]

You went to a Trump rally? XD

[@donny95]

he should have hit the shit packer before all the other stuff started he was agging it on

[@4tniteborger936]

+Donald Gryder Before what other stuff? He hit the man then he was pinned down

[@johnpettersen9492]

Jet Andrade yup! SAW HIM THERE TO protesting with the other Hillary Supporters!

[@josedelgado8247]

"if I have pot in my nut sack" IVE BEEN LAUGHING FOR 3 MINUTES STRAIGHT

[@johnrice1943]

JBubuD yours has a zipper? Mine doesn't open. Sigh

[@Zack-hi2kx]

That was fuckin hilarious

[@adonthefather4697]

I'm still laughing! Lol

[@colleenthecatlady2344]

Lol!!!

[@ghostofbugsbunny9748]

@Lionel Switch Wrong. There are several states that will convict you for assault and battery or more regardless of the circumstances.

[@jonasklingberg822]

Expressing homophobia gives a person away as having homosexual tendencies and not being able to deal with them.

[@christinaflibotte6446]

"What do you think I am, a bitch?" Well, sweetie, you're going to be one soon...

[@mojavedesert2610]

Cop is the last one to the pile!

[@lovinyunomore3787]

Wow. That airport security is truly a fucking joke -_-

[@darklyresplendentone]

Exactly... What a total WASTE of money. Those so-called "airport employees" who stood by and waited until innocent bystanders stepped in should all be FIRED... End of story. They are a disgrace, not only to the airport as a business institution, but to the entire nation itself.

[@aandyherr817]

Naomi Cruz SECURITY!!!! - Screams the Security... D; We're in trouble now.

[@logann7942]

Lol what a brave cop to wait for like 12 people to tackle the guy before pretending to do anything.

[@franciscopineda2594]

If that homophobe try that in Europe he will finish in hospital bleeding through his ears. Down with homophobia

[@ishmahal1111]

Trump will pay for his legal fees.

[@PieALaMode]

+Ya Fr lmao

[@mainmast8955]

the check would bounce

[@ScottTheAngel]

The guy who kicked him seems like most of the people on youtube, angry for no reason not normal and not too bright.

[@TheRayFrom1989]

well said

[@ScottTheAngel]

He has to also be completely dumb with all the security watching what did he think would happen after he did that.

[@GarlicPudding]

As opposed to the raging asshole who started bitching in public?

[@andrewm2399]

ScottTheAngel .You are thinking of Twitter.

[@MADMANARMY]

Are you 'NORMAL' ScottTheAngel? Normal people scare me!

[@ZzzMMZzz]

😞 Dang. Even after the homophobe started kicking/hitting the guy and all the other men jumped in, the pink shirt guy still got pinned at the bottom of the tackle with the homophobe on top of him. Even when they were trying to pull him off he was likely still trying to use his weight to pin him, grabbed him up/pinching him, maybe still yelling in his face possibly spitting on him… so sad. I was hoping when I read the title that a cowboy hat wearing dude would’ve just landed one on him and took his lights out. This is so angering! Edit: I just noticed the pink shirt guy was caught up in the tackle, but was not under the homophobe. My eyes tricked me the first time. You can see his legs dangling on the furthest end. Still though. Sad.

[@drbettyschueler3235]

WTF? No wonder why I hate going out of the house. The bystanders shouldn't have had to take this guy down. Airports are swimming in cops. I am so glad the bystanders subdued the jerk. Thanks guys. You made my day.

[@alexjime3644]

wow i didnt know colors had a sexuality

[@riverkagamine6229]

How did you not know that, honestly it's pretty obvious. Blue is male, or female depending on the time period, pink is female, or male also depending on the time period, red is probably male but possibly nobody cares. Purple is also female probably. Green, male. Every other colour is gender fluid. Pretty simple.

[@thatchimichangawhoneedssom3148]

+Cameron Hampton Yeah it does. When a baby is born the boy gets blue or the girl gets pink. Simple.

[@thatchimichangawhoneedssom3148]

Cameron Hampton There you go. Color identifies your sexuality.

[@ubergammer00]

ALEX Jime I sexually identify as beige

[@Biswalt]

ALEX Jime I'm straight as shit and my favorite color is purple. If seeing a dude in a pink shirt makes you want to attack them because you think it's gay then you should start wondering why seeing a gay guy has you so uncomfortable. I used to play in a band and occassionally we would gig at a gay bar, and dudes would hit on me, and you know what? I didn't get irrationally upset about it. I didn't attack them. I was flattered that they were attracted to me but not interested in doing anything with them. So I'd say, "oh thanks, but you don't need to buy me a drink, I'm straight". And the world kept turning and I didn't worry that I'd become gay. I'm not sexually attracted to dudes and so if a guy offers to buy me a drink or says I've got beautiful eyes that's fine. You've got to have SERIOUS issues with your own sexual identity (and I'm not even saying homophobe is secretly a gay self loather). But something, somewhere, is REALLY fucked up if you can't see a dude in a pink shirt and not freak out.

[@tm502010]

Also unreal that Armed Cops were within ten feet of him - and he STILL started a fight!

[@johnrice1943]

Not unreal. Government won't save you, and progressive quota hiring of women and others who can't do the work they were hired for doesn't help the problem.

[@systemisdisturbed]

Tip for people fighting you, put dominant leg in front of you, quickly wrap dominant arm around their neck, squeeze while counting to 20 in the persons ear then watch them go to sleep

[@taunyaharmony2938]

This is why I don't go anywhere without my firearm. Nor do I trust "authority types" to protect me and mine.

[@Shmarm]

It is getting more dangerous to be outwardly queer than it has been in decades - there is a tolerance of intolerance and a blind eye turned everywhere , thankfully there are others who will still step in .

[@ethanhamto2405]

Shmarm 2001 it seems less dangerous

[@Shmarm]

Ethan Hamto maybe it looks that way, but I personally was attacked mugged and beaten severely by a group of young immigrant men, I think it was because I am gay and I know of several other attacks that were obviously gay bashing like I haven't heard about since the 60s. (Usually perpetrators were not born in Canada) I know more then a few gay men who came to Canada with their familys recently and now that they are out they aren't safe from their own family. In some ways and in some places it's way better then the 60s but it's way less safe than 10 or 20 years ago . I meet a little old lady in Florida a few months ago and she surprised me by bringing it up in conversation. She has friends in Toronto and was worried for me and my boyfriend. It seems to me from personal experience it's way less safe.

[@ethanhamto2405]

Shmarm 2001 hasn't it always been less safe. Their just wasn't as much media coverage back then.

[@Shmarm]

Ethan Hamto my personal experience has shown me otherwise not the media

[@Shmarm]

I'm guessing you're a religious person-

[@anonamoose2229]

Infuriating as hell.

[@rocketraccoon1976]

Not as infuriating as the outcome: McCleish Christmas Benham of Shelbyville, Tennessee. $474 fine, NO jail time. Prior convictions for theft & animal abuse. Gotta love the American justice system, where violent criminals are allowed to roam free until they actually kill or seriously injure someone.

[@longtutjenkins]

clearest form of hate crime. Attacking someone because they are gay.

[@35mayocynthia]

According to the TSA having a waterbottle is more important to deal with than breaking up a fight at the air port

[@mvmza1]

"Can I have the form for the nailclipper?" 😂😂😂

[@landminelieutenant1597]

if he was black he would have been shot before he got his jacket off, he should consider himself lucky.

[@BenTIStudios]

Irony another guy in a pink shirt brought him down the most lol.

[@calebstevens7487]

Life tip: don’t act like an asshole around someone in a cowboy hat.

[@s1lent718]

*security walks by* "No security here!"

[@perfectsplit5515]

The assailant was prejudiced ... against men who wear pink shirts in public.

[@cmatrix4761]

lol - so he's prejudiced against 1/3rd of the [straight] Mexican immigrants in Lubbock.

[@perfectsplit5515]

Or perhaps against Homer Simpson, because in one episode his white dress shirt had turned pink after it was accidentally washed with red clothes in the laundry machine.

[@shasilver]

The real tragedy is that there are more humans like this guy out there.

[@ekotren40]

Just because you don't like gays doesn't mean you're afraid of then as the term homophobe implies.

[@leedleaf1264]

This dude in the glasses is a regular bad ass huh... Im sure he would have taken him down by himself.

[@IRONMAN000]

Second pink shirt to thee rescue....

[@frankrizzo9585]

[@macmcleod1188]

I love the way five guys shut him down so quickly once he resorted to violence.

[@angelortbo1]

TSA is not law enforcement, It is prohibited for this agency to get involved.

[@tomgreenough3235]

I cannot believe there is airport security around this guy and they did NOTHING!!!!

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

The guy obviously can't handle his own homosexuality and it comes out as anger.

[@wateva6df]

So all angry people are gay?

[@veganpotterthevegan]

Well, you're a homophobe too if this is how you're thinking.

[@stephencrellin3088]

A E bet you voted trump knob head sorry that’s giving you to much credit .

[@stephencrellin3088]

Shango Garvey no just a brainless prick but I bet you know that anyway .

[@zachtrav]

Gary McKinnon that is ABSOLUTELY correct!!!

[@paxwallacejazz]

Like the school guard who ran away from the shooter.

[@LosianOne]

paxwallacejazz if it's the one I'm thinking of it was actually a cop, a school resource officer unless security is the resource needed.

[@danielleinad88]

that was a cop which makes it even worse.

[@eggplant8306]

My friend asked her mom if she could get that one diagonal line on her eyebrow and her mom was like “IF u gEt THaT iT meAns YOur LeSbiAN”

[@GoddessAlkebulan]

TSA screens passengers and property for air travel. Number 1 TSA does not have arrest powers. Number 2 TSA is not allowed to intervene in disputes. They are not paid law enforcement officers. The police keep the peace and enforce laws at the airport.
