A woman went viral after a video of her launching a homophobic tirade at a man getting a pedicure in a nail salon has been shared across social media.

Christopher Brown shared the video to Facebook after the incident occurred on 30 December at Casabella Spa & Nails in Lynnwood, Washington, where it has since been viewed over 320,000 times.

Speaking to KOMO News, he said the woman walked into the nail salon, sat down, and began talking to someone over the phone on loudspeaker.

"When I asked her to take her phone off speaker, she looked at me, looked back at her phone call, and then said, hold on, let me take care of this f****t, and then hung up her phone," Christopher told the news station.

In the video, the unidentified woman mocks Christopher for recording her and gives staff the ultimatum of "either he goes or I go".

Although staff don’t tell her to leave, she gets up and goes while yelling vile homophobic comments to Christopher as she exits the building.

“Keep recording, sissy,” the woman says before saying he’s jealous of her private parts and telling him to "eat her p***y".

Christopher wrote on Facebook when posting the video that he had been holding back sharing the awful incident, but decided to show people that discrimination is still rife.

He wrote: "I’ve been holding back sharing this, but what kind of social justice warrior would I be staying quiet?"

"I hope her family and friends see this one day, and are embarrassed by her despicable behavior," he added.

People on social media commented to support Christopher for standing up to the woman’s hatred.

One wrote: "Bravo for standing up and letting people know that this still happens even in 2019! I have also witnessed it here in SF right in the heart of the gay district."

Another added: "I am so proud of your composure through the entire experience. I’m so sorry that people like this still exist in the world".

Christopher commented on his post: "Oh she didn’t hurt me. I’m a lot thicker skinned than that. I just feel for the people she’s encountered in her life that aren’t that strong."
