An outpouring of support for an Albuquerque couple targeted by antigay vandals has helped them reach their modest goal to raise enough money to cover expenses for their damaged cars.
Tommy Sloan, who is an out trans man, and his boyfriend, Jesus
Martinez, created an online fundraiser after the third in a series of
attacks on their cars. Sloan said he believes someone poured bleach in
the gas tanks.
"Someone had actually taken a tool and ripped open my gas tank to
pour bleach in there so my car's engine doesn't even work," Sloan told Alburqueque TV station KOB.
On their CrowdRise page, Martinez wrote the latest attack came two days after his partner’s top surgery. He tells The Advocate in an email they’re sure they’re being targeted because they’re gay.
