When Jordan Schaeffer booked a trip to Miami, he thought it would be a romantic, chilled out place to go with his boyfriend.

Sunny Miami Beach in Florida is a popular holiday spot for gay and straight people alike, known for its liberal attitude.

But things went badly wrong when the two of them were targeted just for sharing a kiss at Burger King.

Video shows the moment a fellow customer takes offence, seemingly because the couple kissed while queuing up for food.


Shaeffer, from LA, had to try and fend off the man, who he said told him ‘Why don’t you show if you’re tough or not you little f*ggot.’

Schaeffer told NBC: ‘Even just talking about it makes me uncomfortable. We’re in 2016 and especially in a city like Miami Beach, where I thought being homosexual would be pretty accepted, it’s just not right that anyone should suffer.

“We were going to Miami for a relaxing weekend and it was traumatising, to be honest.”

Attorney Douglas Ede added: ‘We believe this was a hate crime against Jordan because of his sexual orientation.’

Police in Miami are searching for two men who appear to have been involved, one possibly with martial arts training.
