A same-sex couple faces harassment from neighbors, prompting police intervention as they consider leaving their home due to ongoing abuse
City: The incident took place in a quiet neighborhood in the UK. A same-sex couple, Rachel and Alex, have been dealing with some pretty awful harassment from their neighbors. It all started with nasty letters telling them they didn’t belong there.
Things escalated quickly. They found messages like “Merry Xmas fags” on their door, along with some really gross stuff like dog poop. Can you believe that? It’s just heartbreaking to think about what they’re going through.
Rachel shared that she’s been feeling terrified. She only recently came out, and Alex has faced violence before just for being herself. They had plans to settle down and buy a house, but now they feel pushed out of their own home.
It all began last September when Rachel noticed her packages were going missing. Then, they found trash dumped outside their place, and they almost got fined for it! It’s like a bad movie plot, but it’s their real life.
At first, they didn’t realize the notes were homophobic. But when they found a used condom on their door, it hit them hard. The messages kept coming, and it’s been a constant nightmare for them.
Rachel said she’s been in tears talking to her housing association. She just can’t understand how people can be so cruel. She lived there for three years without any issues until Alex moved in, and now it’s like a whole different world.
She has no clue who’s behind the threats but suspects it could be a group of about eight people. It’s just so sad that they have to deal with this in a place they thought was safe and welcoming.
