An unassuming young gay man who moved to Manchester in the UK thinking the city supported gay rights and was 'inclusive' was almost killed in a homophobic attack.
Morgan Fevre, 22, ended up with a bleed on the brain and a severely fractured eye socket and cheekbone following the attack in the early hours of April 10.
Before the attack, Morgan was a support worker for adults with learning difficulties and moved to Manchester from the small market town of Retford, Nottinghamshire, for work more than a year ago.
Reacting to the homophobic crime, his father Paul Fevre said: ‘The man said to him “Why are you wearing a girl’s jacket you f**king f*g?”
‘That’s the last that he remembers. In 2022, that people are called these names and these things happen to them – it is absolutely horrendous.’
Police confirmed the incident happened in Chinatown at 1.35am and it was a ‘homophobically aggravated assault’
