anti-lgbtq assault

“Homosexuality will not be accepted,” one attacker yelled as another screamed, “Let us kill him before the police arrive!”

The flight crew had to block access to the cockpit out of fear that the homophobe might storm it.

“Before that he had been calling me names, saying, ‘It’s not a she, it’s not a he, it’s a it,'” the teen said about the beating that was caught on video.

The victim was severely injured and then contracted COVID-19 while in the hospital, but she’s in good spirits and thankful for her community.

The victim suffered significant injuries that will require surgery, but he still had a message for others: “Don’t let anyone or even this type of situation dim your light.”

The alleged assailant was “satisfied” that he beat a man he didn’t know – but assumed was gay – so badly that he had to be put in a coma for treatment.

The mayor has called the attack “disgusting” and police are asking for anyone to share information that will ensure the “appalling hate crime” doesn’t happen again.

Prosecutors didn’t even want to call it a hate crime at first.

With no cameras in the area where the attack happened, the police are asking anyone who may have witnessed it to come forward.
