The first story is of an attack that police are calling a “Gay Hate Crime.” The attack was against a UCLA student.The student was not badly injured but was threatened with a knife and was the subject of anti-gay slurs.
The second story is one that is mentioned in the first. Following up and reading more on this story I found that it occurred in 2012. An LA man was brutally beaten after admitting that he was gay. This occurred in a Los Angeles park. This story also reported on a previous incident were two men were threatened with anti-gay slurs and stabbed. It is amazing that people feel that they can cause others bodily harm just because they do not agree with something about their lifestyle. None of these victims were bothering anyone. They were simply attacked because they did not fit what others considered a heterosexual profile.
