Katu Azzya wasn't in drag early Sunday morning when he left Fitzray's Restaurant and Lounge on Dundas Street in London.

"I heard one slur. 'Fag' was the word they used and I thought nothing of it," said Azzya, who regularly performs as one of London's more popular drag queen, Mz. Affra-Tighty.

"I always have a brightly coloured scarf, which is nothing unusual. I was wearing my little leather coat...I am tall and with a bright head piece on. I'm not exactly very conservative in my walk. I have a bit of a sway."

That's all it took.

Azzya continued walking and heard the slur again from behind him. "If you don't develop a little thick skin, you won't survive here because it's a very conservative city and it's not really handled all that well."

But that's when things escalated.

"All of a sudden, there was this egg, and it was hard-boiled and it hit me in my upper chest," recounted Azzya on London Morning.

"It was a really well-planned shot and it was a very strong shot," said Azzya, who believes the egg was fired from a passing car.

None of this is unusual, said Azzya, especially if he and his friends are in drag.

"We've been hit with burgers and fries and milkshakes. I've had a lot of things ruined, too."

Katu Azzya, also known as Mz. Affra-Tighty, is speaking out after an assault where someone threw an egg at him from a car window. Katu says he hopes others will speak out if they are also the subject of such attacks. 8:29

Azzya reported the Sunday incident to police, even though he worries he could be further victimized for speaking out.

"Most won't report it because it's more fuss and bother to report it. I did it because I wanted to make a point. I phoned the police and said for stats purposes, I know this will register," said Azzya, who encouraged other victims of homophobic slurs or assaults to do speak out.

"Make it known, because there are some very great officers that are listening and do care," Azzya said.

"I want people to know that it's not your fault. It's just like any other crime. It's not your fault ... It is their fault. You do not have to take the blame and you can give it back to them.

"My fear is also people not reporting it, these people become more brazen."
