“Filthy homo” shouted at Dutch actor just before Orlando vigil

Dutch actor Paul de Leeuw was called a "filthy homo" just before he entered a Rotterdam vigil for the victims of the mass shooting in Orlando, he said on Twitter on Saturday.

De Leeuw was walking into gay-cafe De Unie in Rotterdam when a group of young people walked by and insulted him.

"I just walked through Rotterdam and a guy of 23 passed me and said Paul de Leeuw. Filthy homo! I called after him filthy? Why! But he kept walking. Coward", the actor tweeted.

Ik liep net door Rotterdam en gozer van 23 passeert me en zegt Paul de leeuw. Vieze homo! ik riep hem na vies?waarom! Maar liep door! Lafbek
