Second Antigay Attack Occurs Near Georgetown University Campus

, 365gay.com

An attack on a gay student occurred near Georgetown University campus on Sunday “when a man with his face painted red and white harassed a male student verbally, and assaulted him before fleeing,” reports The Advocate.

This is the second attack on a gay Georgetown student to occur off campus in the past week.  The first attack occurred last Tuesday, when “a female student walking near campus was assaulted by two men in their late 20s, who shouted antigay slurs and pushed her to the ground before striking her with her book bag.”

“Both cases were referred to D.C. police because the incidents occurred off campus…Neither victim has filed a report with police, but officers are working with gay groups on campus in hopes of encouraging them to do so,” The Washington Post reports.

A vigil was held on-campus the night following Sunday’s assault.

Campus officials have sent a letter out to campus members addressing both attacks.

    • I would check out the, “Christian Fringe Organizations”, they seem to be the most likely suspects at a college, unless there is a neo-nazi group or a bunch of kids with Christian parents, they are always OK with violence.
