Daan, 24, is still in shock from what happened to him at an open-air party in North last Saturday. He was attacked and beaten for being “a cancer fagot.” “They don’t realize what impact this has,” he says AT5.

The rave took place in the night from Saturday to Sunday in the Keerkringpark in Noord. According to Daan, who often goes to parties like this, there were people around that evening who usually do not go there. He felt a completely different atmosphere. “I was wearing a suit with a skirt that night. This gave me negative looks from a few visitors. “
Some youngsters behaved hostile towards Daan. “I tried to talk to some of them, but I was told,” Just go away! ” There was no talking about that. “
Attacked personally
After Daan was attacked, he really felt unsafe. “I was sitting by the water with a friend and noticed someone running towards me. He grabbed my armpits and probably wanted to push me into the water. “
A struggle ensued, but Zane managed to wriggle free. “A friend of his shouted very loudly afterwards,” Done now! “, But I didn’t want to leave it and asked why I was being grabbed.” At that moment, Zane was slapped on the neck by a third person out of the blue.
“It happened very quickly. Suddenly a lot of people came between us. ” Some of them checked whether Zane was not wrong. “I was shocked and talked to a lot of people about it during the rave, but it wasn’t a fun party anymore.”
“Because they are cancer fags”
Shortly after the incident, Zane’s friend approached one of the boys to find out why they attacked him. “In reply, she got,” Because they’re cancer cocks. ”
A day after the incident, Zane finished his story Facebook to put. Someone also managed to take pictures of the man who tried to throw Zane into the water. Daan decided to add the images to his message. In response to the post, more people said they had been involved in an incident. For example, another man would have been grabbed by his throat and worked on the floor that night and a girl would have been sexually harassed.
A police spokesman said he is aware of the case. Daan will soon report the incident. “I hope they will realize the impact this has. And that – even though they may not fully understand things – they still respect others. “
