Police investigate alleged gay bias attack in NYC

New York City police are investigating the beating of a 22-year-old man in Brooklyn on March 2 as an anti-gay hate crime.

The man was attacked by five other men and suffered cuts on the back of the head and bruises on the face, said WPIX.com news. During the assault, the men used anti-gay slurs.

“I was appalled and sickened to learn of last weeks anti-LGBT hate crime , said New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who is a lesbian. “New York City’s greatest strength is our diversity.  All New Yorkers should be free to walk our streets without fear of being attacked for who they are or who they are perceived to be.”

“The victim of last weeks attack was simply walking on the street when he was beaten by a group of men while being called anti-gay epithets.  This is outrageous and unacceptable,” she added.

    • Yeah, that is the usual method of operation for these types of punks. They run around in “puppy packs’ to screw up their “courage” enough to gang up on, and beat the hell out of some innocent passerby. Real tough boys, way to show what men you are.

      One of these days, a group like this is going to run into a gay man or lesbian who is packing a pistol, and THAT will surprize them pretty fast. They should think of that the next time they decide to be so manly.

    • Whatever happened the use of the word “alleged” until the trial is over? I think someone’s grandstanding…!

    • She’s not grandstanding, she’s just not a lawyer, she’s a politician. Innocent until proven guilty is a matter of the weight of law. It has no bearing on public opinion or discourse. If for some strange reason you think it does I want the phone number for your dealer because that kind of idealized fantasy can only be acid induced.
