Two young people who had breakfast in a fast food place in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo were victims of a brutal homophobic attack. While they waited for their request, Marcos and Franco were beaten by a man in his 30s who insulted them by shouting "fucking shit."

“On Monday, after leaving the bowling alley, we went to breakfast with a friend at a fast food shop in Cordoba and Medrano, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo. A boy began to insult us. We shouted fucking shit. Starving They don't even have to eat. He threw the soda in our face. He hit us both with a bunch of keys. I passed out and they had to make me points. He ground my friend and me with sticks, ”said Marcos Zalazar, one of the assaulted youth.

As he recreates the site elciudadanowe.com, Marcos and Franco de Bernardo were having breakfast last Monday around 7 in the morning at a McDonald's store, in Córdoba (at 3800) Medrano corner.

"Out of nowhere one man begins to insult us, the security one separates him. He sat us at a table and the fat man on the other side. But when we left the boy came back and hit me. I could not react because his face was full of blood, I vanished and all I remember is that I was in the bathroom and some boys helped me, "he said.

The young people made the complaint; due to the blows that they received both they had to give points on the face to suture their wounds. They claimed that they did not know the aggressors and that for them it was a homophobic attack.

Marcos published what happened to him on social networks, days after what happened. "Unfortunately today I see myself sharing something different from what I usually upload to my networks. But when reality hits you, you can't shake it," he began in his release.

In the text he explained that they have already made the complaint and that they are now looking for witnesses of the aggression: "If someone was there that morning at the Mc Donalds, please write to me privately. This cannot continue happening, neither to me nor to anyone. Today it's our turn. Stop violence, just naturalize these attacks! "
