A video showing a man dressed in
bright, tight clothing and carrying a bag while walking in New York
City has gone viral.
According to the video's producers, the
man is dressed “as a homosexual” in a black v-neck crop top,
tight orange pants and black sneakers. He's also holding a matching
bag with orange vertical stripes.
Passersby taunt the young white man as
he walks around New York City for 3 hours.
“It's Victoria's Secret,” one man
hollers, “not Victor.”
Other men are less colorful but equally
offensive, shouting “faggot.”
Several women remark on his outfit.
One man tries to pick him up, flagging
him down with, “What's up, handsome?”
“Wanna head home with me? Show you
how to be a real man. Since you're not a real man, you need a real
man to take care of you. What's the matter, man?” he asks as he's
ignored.
He persists: “You went shopping
today? Got a little perfume? Oh, you smell good right now.”
According to producers, the man was
verbally and physically harassed more than 50 times during the
filming.
The video, which is similar to one
showing a woman being harassed more than 100 times as she walks the
streets of New York City over 10 hours, has racked up more than
500,000 views since it was released last week. (The video is
