Ariel Olivera was returning home after a night of fun at a nightclub in Buenos Aires at around 4 am last Sunday (8), when he was attacked by two men.
"I've always been messed with on the streets, but this is the first time this has happened to me. I was unable to get up," the boy told a local newspaper.
The police recorded the crime as a beating with "robbery and injury", but the victim has no doubt that it was a homophobic crime. "They were screaming that I should be killed. I feel like I was born again," she revealed.

"It's a homophobic attack. He wasn't robbed and when he woke up the two people were gone. He was beaten just for his sexual orientation," said Esteban Paulon, president of the Argentine Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Trans (FALGBT) , to Infojus Notícias.
