It’s not all sunshine and rainbows down Rio way. Made in Brazil passes on the scary story of how 19-year old Ferruccio Silvestro found himself hospitalized:
Leaving a gay club in São Domingos, Niterói, Ferrucio was approached by three middle-class boys in their early 20s who screamed at him “We don’t want faggots in our neighborhood.”
Gotta love those middle-class values.
Ferruci attempted to flee the frightful situation, but the hooligans chased him to a nearby gas station, where they threw him to the ground and kicked him into unconsciousness.
The student spent four days in the hospital and plans to press charges against the unknown assailants.
How about we take this to the next level?

Brutal. My heart goes out to the poor guy.

Brazil was first a Portuguese colony, and then its own kingdom, and since then, a plutocracy with right wing dictators in charge.
Pray he recovers completely. Finding them will be a hopeless cause.
