Despite Manhattan's reputation as being very gay friendly, attacks on LGBT people are on the rise. The New York Times has a report on one gay couple who experienced this firsthand:
On May 5, 2013, a young couple was attacked outside Madison Square Garden in broad daylight. Nick Porto and Kevin Atkins were walking hand in hand when a group of several men, clad in Knicks jerseys, called them “faggots” and pushed them to the ground, beating them to the point of a torn ligament and a broken nose. In this video, Mr. Porto and Mr. Atkins tell their story.
