When Calgary's Chris Ball started watching the U.S. election results come in at a bar in California on Tuesday, he probably didn't expect his night to end with a trip to the ER.

Ball, a film producer, said he was attacked for being gay, and his friend believes they were Trump supporters.

He told Metro Calgary that as the polls came in, tensions began to rise in the bar in Santa Monica and people started yelling at him.

"People started launching homophobic slurs at me from afar," he told the newspaper. "I mean, I kind of got into it, but I didn’t want to provoke them.

"They were saying things like, 'We got a new president you f*cking faggots.'"
