In a disturbing incident reported from Reno, a local resident faced blatant homophobia at a Maverik gas station on Keystone. The individual, who prefers to remain anonymous, shared their experience on social media. The incident began when the individual accidentally bumped into a man while in line at the gas station. Despite apologizing immediately, the man’s friend, who joined them later, made derogatory comments about the individual’s sexuality, presumably triggered by the rainbow backpack they were carrying. The harassment didn’t end there, as the man continued to make offensive remarks, even as the individual walked to their car.

The incident has sparked a discussion on social media about homophobia and bystander apathy. Read the full account here…
