Adam Eli was leaving a subway station in New York City when he was confronted by a man who demanded him to take off his pink kippah because the stranger says Eli cannot be Jewish and gay.

As a community organizer and LGBTQ activist, Eli recorded the confrontation at 28th Street and Broadway on Sunday and posted it on social media, hoping to raise awareness about the hatred and bigotry that still exists in the city.

In the video, the man followed Eli out of the 28th Street station yelling "Take your kippah off."

Eli says he quickly pieced together that the stranger was angry that he clearly represented as Jewish and queer because he was also carrying a pink purse had a rainbow patch on his jeans.
