Comments on: Hell’s Kitchen anti-gay attack prompts concern about police http://www.365gay.com/news/hells-kitchen-anti-gay-attack-prompts-concern-about-police/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:11:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Sarrellec http://www.365gay.com/news/hells-kitchen-anti-gay-attack-prompts-concern-about-police/comment-page-1/#comment-73698 Sarrellec Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:37:58 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=9870#comment-73698 I gotta say this: ONE guy attacked THREE GUYS and they didn't fight back?!?!? WTF!!! Usually, attacks reported involve at least a three to one ratio of breeders to gay men, and the breeders are usually armed. Now, THAT is a hate crime. But, ONE guy attacks THREE GUYS! Come ON! Where's the "pride" in standing there and letting ONE GUY use you for a punching bag? Sorry, folks, but no wonder the NYPD didn't take this all that seriously. Remove the "fag" comment, and this is nothing more than any other drunk getting obnoxious with someone in the street. He probably would've said fag to whoever his pickled brain focused on for his breeder past-time of going to a bar, getting drunk and then getting into a fight. WHY these guys didn't clean his clock is beyond me. I knew a drag queen in Dallas that was attacked by a couple of drunk breeders out for a night of get-drunk-and-fight entertainment and she darned near killed one of them with her pump. Hate Crime Legislation is great. I'm all for it. But, there's also a point where people, men and women, just have to defend themselves and know how to. Gay or straight, it isn't a pleasant world out there. Learn to fight back. I gotta say this: ONE guy attacked THREE GUYS and they didn’t fight back?!?!?

The attack was not anti-"LGBT". It was anti-gay. That's anti-GAY, as in G-A-Y. The slur used was a common one directed at gay men-- not lesbians, bisexuals or TG/TS folks. Therefore there is no need to use the politically expedient term "LGBT". Going forward, hopefully she will be more accurate in her statements. The statement by speaker Quinn was inaccurate.

We walk down the street holding hands all the time. Everyone does. VERY hard to believe that the police didn't take this seriously. I mean, if they don't take us seriously in NYC -- where they recruit at GLBT events -- where *will* they take us seriously?
