High Schoolers Terrorize Gay Neighborhood
High Schoolers Terrorize Gay Neighborhood

Toronto's gay village has increased police protection on the streets after reports of high school students coming to the area to harass residents and business owners, the Toronto Star reports.

Paul Windsor, a local florist, said a dozen students at Jarvis Collegiate Institute, located in the neighborhood, yelled a gay slur at him before they hurled a frozen drink at him and then chunks of ice.

“A slushie drink is one thing — it stains your clothes and hurts your pride — but when it escalates to chunks of ice, that’s dangerous,” he said in the article. The attack has been compared to that of a "slushie facial," popularized by the TV show Glee, in which the popular students bully the less accepted students with a frozen drink to the face.

2. Sad. Toronto used to be one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world

3. This Is Something Along the Lines of....
nazi hoods vandalising Jewish neighborhoods and terrorising the residents before Kristallnacht. I just wonder sometimes when the real war against GLBT (locking us up, declaring us mentally ill and forcing us into "therapy") is going to start. This is what the haters really want...to eliminate as many of us as they can. This is why they are trying to recriminalise our orientation in some places.

4. Nazi conduct?
Unlike the many victims of the Nazi reign of terror, we wouldn't go quietly into that good night......

Too many of us are former military and own guns.
