As reported in a number of British media outlets, two women were left bloody and beaten after refusing to kiss upon command for a group of men.

The revolting attack has been reported on by a number of online news sources, including the Mirror, the Huffington Post, and Pink News. The two women were attacked by a group of homophobes on a London night bus on the night of 30 May.

Melania Geymonat took to her Facebook page on 5 June to write of the harrowing attack. She explained that she and her girlfriend Chris must have kissed, garnering the attention of a group of four men who proceeded to hound the couple, asking them to kiss in front of them: "They started behaving like hooligans, demanding that we kissed so they could enjoy watching, calling us ‘lesbians’ and describing sexual positions."

Geymonat wrote that she could not remember all of the details, but suddenly her girlfriend was in the middle of the four men, fighting with them. Geymonat was also punched and became dizzy, unsure whether she lost consciousness. Afterwards, the bus stopped and police officers were there. The attackers fled and stole the belongings of the couple. In the meantime, the police have opened an investigation.

The Ryanair air hostess explained that she hasn't been able to return to work and has yet to find out if her nose was broken in the attack. She wrote "what upsets me the most is that VIOLENCE HAS BECOME A COMMON THING, that sometimes it’s necessary to see a woman bleeding after having been punched to feel some kind of impact." She denounced the harassment that gay people experience and the fact that this harassment remains a normal experience.

She ended her post by referring to Pride month, writing: "I just hope that in June, Pride Month, stuff like this can be spoken out loudly so they STOP HAPPENING!"

Police said the incident happened at around 2:30am on May 30 after the two women, both in their 20s, got on the bus in north London. "They were approached by a group of four males who began to make lewd and homophobic comments to them," London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

"The women were then attacked and punched several times before the males ran off the bus. A phone and bag were stolen during the assault."

They said four males aged between 15 and 18 were arrested on Friday on suspicion of robbery and aggravated grievous bodily harm.

The teenagers have been taken to separate police stations for questioning.

"This was a disgusting attack on two women who appear to have been picked out and targeted by a group of youths," said Detective Superintendent Andy Cox.

"CCTV footage from the attack is being reviewed by detectives.

"Active enquires are in hand to trace other individuals suspected to have been involved.

"Attacks of this nature on London buses are rare."

Geymonat is from Uruguay while British newspapers reported that her girlfriend is from the US.

British Prime Minister Theresa May said the assault was "sickening".

"Nobody should ever have to hide who they are or who they love and we must work together to eradicate unacceptable violence towards the LGBT community," she said.
