A gay couple on Staten Island say they are frustrated with the lackadaisical response to a complaint they filed with police after a man banged on their door, yelled anti-gay slurs, and threatened retaliation against them after they asked neighbors to keep their noise down.
Joe Canale, a principal at the College of Staten Island High School for International Studies, and his partner Raymond Gamarra say the incident occurred after they complained to their neighbors about loud noises coming from a party they were hosting on the evening of Jan. 23. They asked the neighbors to keep down the volume, but one partygoer took offense.
