On the night of Friday 29 on Saturday 30 July, a 26-year-old man in a cafe in Groningen beaten up, because he is gay. Someone said this: “you are a dirty gay“. Six men hit and kick him because they don't like the idea of a gay man dancing. However, the victim cannot report and the police do nothing if they point to the perpetrators. The police responded a day later with the announcement that there are as yet no indications that this is gay-related violence. They think it's just nightlife violence. According to the police, the man hits first during the fight, but he denies this. He didn't even hit at all.
