A heartbreaking video has surfaced on Facebook as the owner and founder of Lips Drag Queen Showpalace Restaurant and Bar says he was beaten up because he is gay.

Mark Zschiesche Yvonne Lame posted a video in which he appears bruised and bloodied following an attack which he blames on President Trump’s administration and those who supported him.

“This has never, ever happened to me,” Lame says through tears, “So, somebody hit me in the face because I’m gay, and I have never, ever in my entire life have experienced this. And I blame this on Trump.”

Continuing on through the emotional post and a bleeding nose he continues to blame the assault on the president's supporters.

“Look at my face, ‘cause someone beat me up because I was gay,” he continues. “And I blame Trump and all of those who support him.”

“The person who hit me said because I’m gay. So thank you, those who voted for him…thank you.”

San Diego police tell SDGLN that the victim called them from 30th Avenue and Polk Street in San Diego's North Park neighborhood, but when they arrived he was not present and no report was taken.

Lips originated in New York's West Village over 20-years ago, but has since opened venues in Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale, San Diego and recently Chicago.

In November, there was an uptick in violence and vandalism toward the LGBT community after Trump won the election.

“We’ve seen a great deal of really troubling stuff in the last week, a spike in harassment, a spike in vandalism, physical assaults. Something is happening that was not happening before,” Jonathan Greenblatt, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said in November. “We’ve been inundated with reports; it’s really crazy out there.”
