A gay couple, one of them from Peru,
was allegedly assaulted as they walked hand in hand in Rome on
New Year's Eve, sources said Thursday.
The two young men were physically attacked with punches and
kicks while also being verbally insulted with gay slurs, Gaynet
said.
The incident comes just days after a similar one in Milan, said
the gay group.
It cited European data showing that 53% of gay couples are still
afraid of walking hand in hand.
