Would you dare to stand up to an angry mob of screaming, flag-waving neo-Nazis?
Well, a Spanish gay couple was determined to show that they ain’t afraid of hatred.
David Fernández and Gregor Eistert were on a date in the city center on Saturday when they encountered Spanish neo-Nazi group ‘Hogar Social Madrid‘ that was protesting the welcoming of refugees into the capital.
The group were marching into Plaza del Dos de Mayo in Malasaña, one of Madrid hippest and most bohemian neighbourhoods, while cheering for Spanish dictator Francisco Franco and chanting, ‘Spain yes, refugees no!’ reports The Local.
Fernández, 23, told Spanish newspaper El Español that they were looking for a terrace to grab a drink when they stumbled upon the far right demonstration.
Some of the demonstrators who saw that the two were holding hands then started shouting homophobic slurs such as ‘maricón’ (a derogatory Spanish word similar to faggot), ‘You’ve got AIDS!’ and ‘sickos’ at them.
