A gay couple from Los Angeles say a fellow Amtrak passenger came up to their family and began screaming at the kids, calling the couple 'pedophiles.'
SAN FRANCISCO -- What was supposed to be a fun family trip, turned into a nightmare Tuesday afternoon for Robbie Pierce, his husband Neal and their children.
"The first thing he said was, 'Remember what I told you. Marriage is between a man and a woman, and these people stole you. They're not your parents, they're pedophiles,"' Pierce said.Pierce's husband, Neal Broverman, immediately jumped up to separate the raging man from his kids. Unaware if the man had some type of weapon, Pierce says he took his children to a different train car."They were both just sobbing. Just tears all down their faces. And my son was kind of just frozen. My daughter was yelling, 'why is this happening?'" Pierce said.A request he refused, until Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputies were called in for backup.
The couple says while this isn't the first time they've experienced discrimination in public, this instance was the most extreme.
