Two Irish drag queens have been assaulted while filming a promotional video for their shows.
Lucina Schynning and Krystal Queer were filming a video on the street when a man came up to them from behind and attacked them. Upon the pair confronting the attacker, another group of men began assaulting them.
The Cork-based drag queens posted a video to their Instagram on Monday (27 October), explaining the attacks and showing footage of their attackers.
They captioned the distributing video: “Last night we wanted to film a silly little video to promote an upcoming event, unfortunately while we were recording we experienced two unprovoked homophobic attacks. If anyone has any footage or information on the men included in the above video we would really appreciate you reaching out to us.”
