Ivan Flinn was savagely attacked on Sydney's Oxford Street by a homophobe. Then three drag queens turned up.
Ivan was enjoying a night out in Darlinghurst on Oxford Street’s infamous gay strip where he was attacked.
During his visit to the local kebab shop Ivan overheard a rowdy group shout out an array of homophobic slurs behind him. Trying to defend himself and the LGBTI+ community Ivan spoke to the group.
scenestr spoke with Coco Jumbo, one of the three superqueens, who described the incident: “Ivan confronted the group and said ‘this is Oxford Street, it’s full of gay people, please leave’.” Welcomed with a punch and a dislocated jaw, Ivan was wishing for a miracle.
Coco, Ivy League and Vybe had also just treated themselves to a kebab after work when they witnessed the attack. Swinging into action the drag queen trio came to Ivan’s rescue and immediately intervened.
During the conflict Ivy suffered minor injuries. “Ivy stepped in and was like, ‘if you want to hit a gay person hit me, hit someone your own size’.”
“A guy pushed Ivy so I picked him up and threw him in the gutter. I don’t think they knew what they were getting themselves into.”
Due to damaged clothes and wigs, Ivan set up a GoFundMe page to try and replace some of the girls’ belongings. With instant success Ivan has raised over $9,000 for his three heroes. Coco and the girls claimed to not be fazed by the damaged outfits and were touched by Ivan’s fundraising.
“It’s so wild, no one has ever done something like that for us before,” Coco concluded.
You go girls!
