A Latina woman from Houston was minding her own business when an enraged middle-aged white man pulled up beside her at a red light and began shouting racist and misogynist remarks at her.
Santiago Mayer uploaded video of the incident to his Twitter page last week. He says it was recorded by his friend’s mom, Janet Espejel, last Thursday, who filmed the man insulting her while her young daughter, a toddler, sat in the back seat.
Can we make this pleasure of a guy famous? Twitter is good at taking down racists. Took place in Houston. @MollyJongFast @krassenstein @EdKrassen @MattNegrin pic.twitter.com/Bbh5BpFfRP

“You’re driving in two lanes, you stupid b*tch!” the man screams. “That’s not how we drive in America. Trump’s deporting your stupid cousins today, b*tch!”
But he doesn’t stop there. The man continues verbally assaulting Espejel until the light turns green, calling her an ugly, tacky, stinky, skanky b*tch then telling her to learn English before cackling obnoxiously.
How about we take this to the next level?

“Stop driving in two lanes, anyway, Miss Thing,” he barks. “I’m not that stupid, b*tch! Take all the pictures you want, b*tch. You’re ugly, you need a gay friend to help you with makeup and clothes!”
The man has since been identified as Charles Geier. A screenshot of his social media page began circulating over the weekend before the account was deleted.
Ironically, Espejel, who has been a U.S. citizen and Houston resident for almost a decade, was on her way to early voting.
She told her local Houston news station KHOU-TV that she has since filed a police report and requested an apology from Geier.
“We have to stop all of this hate,” she says. “Speak up. Don’t be afraid. That’s the only way that we can stop all this hate is just showing and exposing the people because I think the majority [are] good people that don’t want this to continue.”

Wow. It used to be that being a member of the LGBTQ community made most people much more compassionate toward other marginalized groups. It’s sad to see so much hatred coming from one of our own toward an innocent person. This guy also obviously doesn’t understand how social media works. If he’s not retired already–he soon will be.

Yeah,old,gay and white make the worst racists and they are everywhere in the community,I’m afro-hispanic and I’ve had a few encounters that make me question this community’s lack of filter for who can and can’t be in it.

I’ve seen some pretty nasty gay people of all ages and races. There has always been a mean streak in our community. A lot of these people think they’re being “brutally honest” when, in reality, they’re just being assholes.

He showed hoe ignorant he is, now the world knows!!

It’s not terribly surprising. Many gays on both sides of the spectrum tend to behave this way. They have a lot of anger. It’s understandable to one extent as they’ve been beaten down by society for so long.
Kangol
Not at all surprised. Just look at the regular tide of racist comments by men like Geier on here, and you know there are many like him. (But what’s up with the new poster who’s posting about “race traitors” and hardcore white supremacist stuff, and who also claimed never to have heard about the horrific torture and murder of Matthew Shepard? Queerty moderators seem to have missed that one!)
PinkoOfTheGange
just an old troll with a new account.
Polaro
Now that’s racist.
ivanw222
Just when we think “But we’re gay, we’re better than that” some low life proves us wrong!
wheelzzzzz
I don’t think its a stretch to think this guy is on Meth. His behavior is like the behavior of people high on speed or other stimulants that leads to chronic dehydration and cognitive functions. This is in no way making excuses for this deplorable behavior. But its a drug prevalent with certain demographics including neo-natzis and the gay community. I’m not saying all meth heads are assholes, but as someone who lived in town known for its consumption, it brings out anger and violence.

Are we not supposed to be better this

And please do not say “I did not know there was a child in the back seat”!

Gay or str8t, a truly vile and despicable human being as this must be condemned.
Felecia
Well, THERE’S something you don’t see with the old run-of-the-mill gay stereotypes usually trotted out by film and television…yes, this guy is a total tool…and when we say to heteros “we are EVERYWHERE”, now it will include wrinkled-queen racist assh*les, I suppose…like we needed THAT in our ranks, lol…if this guy is single, he’d better get used to it. Nobody likes a sh*tty bitch, lol…
DrewD
Was the lady not able to roll up her window and go on? Trash like this guy obviously needs help…one only adds to their entertainment by responding.
batesmotel
Most people would’ve, but she wanted to get it on tape to get it viral. That’s the latest thing. Although it’s not going to change anything. This will still continue. It’s been going on since America started and it will continue until the end. Because there will always be people like that guy in the car.
tirex
He’s just a mentally unbalanced.

Why do people have to act so stupid. We’re all human beings, I don’t care if we’re gay, straight, black, white, brown, rich, poor and so forth. It’s called being RESPECTFUL and COURTEOUS. Seems to me since Trump got elected people forgot how to act.

I think the majority are just plain tired of the Endless influx of hispanics. They come here, they refuse to learn to read or speak the language, they drain welfare, they multiply like rats, which costs taxpayers even more for child welfare programs, teachers now all need to be bi/tri lingual, it’s just an endless drain and needs to be stopped. That’s why people are pissed off.
We need auto-gun emplacements on that Trump wall, with heat registering night vision. Automatically Shoot anything (man/woman/child) trying to cross, that’ll put an end to it.
They want a better life, let them fix their own countries instead of coming here and draining ours.
JH0607
I would vote for you for President.

You literally know nothing about immigration, legal or otherwise, so why don’t you have about 1,000 seats and read an actual book instead of regurgitating racist propaganda. We created our own problem through mass deportations and security that didn’t allow people to travel back and forth freely. Still, your ignorance is no excuse for posts filled with hatred and vitriol. And y’all say the liberals get triggered?! Sheesh.
ZUMMY
Hmmm… maybe prax and jho should hold hands and skip to a Trump rally together.
Vince
@Prax07. Yep but nothing will be done till you go after the employers who pay them under the table. A wall will never stop that.
grethomory
So, are you worried about the endless flow of Europeans? Go to Chicago…New York…San Fran…the same thing that you are saying about Hispanics are the same thing many of these Europeans do…except Hispanics skin is just a little darker. Don’t fall for the B.S. Don’t give me any mess about them committing all the crimes too…we’ve got enough American Homegrown Lunatics to go around shooting up places because they are angry about crap.
scotshot
@Prax07: Tens of millions have emigrated to the US not knowing English, Their kids grew up fluent. They don’t “drain welfare” either. The people who receive the highest percentage of any and all welfare and other benefits are white. Think how nice it’t be if your mother hadn’t spread her legs that day. The poison that is your brain should be neutralized.
batesmotel
Well if they’re tired of it, then vote. Don’t harass them and call them names. Immigration is about coming through the proper legal channels. He was assuming because she’s hispanic that she must be here illegally.

Charles Geier is a total disgrace to the Gay Community. If ANYONE sees him in a bar or in public, I hope you give him a piece of your mind and tell him what a F*CKING @$$HOLE he is. People like him disgust me. And it is even worse when it is a gay @$$HOLE like him. I hope he gets fired from his work and is totally ostracised by the Gay Community. WE do NOT need Imbecilic @$$HOLEs like him as examples of what gay people are.
prarie pup
What a toad. Who gives a rat’s ass what that ugly old man thinks or says?
karl schroeder
‘Gay Trump supporter’ is always something that I cannot quite understand, although I am not surprised about a gay racist. There are plenty of them around – even on this site. As many have said, you would think that gay men had a better understanding of discrimination than many others, but obviously not. The type of attitude demonstrated by this man leads directly to massacres like Pittsburgh – all unleashed by the demented demagogue in the White House. We have a chance to stop his excesses on November 6.

Racism appears to be an equal opportunity employer. Is anyone surprised? We must all stand in solidarity to oppose racism each day and everywhere.

When people are extremely angry with someone, the words that they use are the words that they think will be most hurtful to the person they are angry with. These days, racist, sexist, homophobic etc. language is widely seen to be particularly hurtful and so that language will be used in anger to hurt people, whether or not the person using those words actually believes what they are saying.
Is this guy a sexist and a racist or even a Trump supporter? What he screams out the window of his car at a lady in a fit of road rage isn’t a reliable indication of that. What did his social media say? Where there racist or sexist comments there? Were their any political stickers on his car? I assume if there were, we would certainly have read about it above.
This guy has an anger problem. He probably should give up driving. He said “I’m not that stupid bitch” to the lady when he saw that she was recording him. That deserves some kind of award for irony.
