The mayor of a small town in the Occitanie region of France has been hospitalized after he was stripped, robbed, and tied to a tree at a popular gay cruising spot. His attackers had stolen his car and clothes before fleeing the scene, La Dépêche reports. They took the man’s car keys and then tied him to a nearby tree. Intolerance, hatred and violence are unacceptable.”The mayor is not the first person to be attacked in the car park. In 2018, four gay men were attacked by the same person over a fifteen-day span.
