A video showing a group of gay men and transgender women being forcefully removed from a popular downtown Los Angeles bar Friday night went viral on social media over the weekend, and now police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.
Members of the group said they, along with several other friends, were forced to leave Las Perlas after a straight couple yelled slurs and attacked them. Cellphone video of the incident does not show the alleged attack, but the footage captures three people being forcefully removed from the bar.
“Please know that the Department is committed to ensuring the safety of every Angeleno, as well as the right of all to live their true lives in peace, harmony, and free from anxiety or fear,” LAPD Assistant Chief Beatrice Girmala tweeted. “They said, ‘You guys are all men. You guys don’t belong here,’” Rios, 30, recalled. “And we turned around and said, ‘Please leave us alone. We don’t want problems.’”
