This is an important subject to me, and possibly to you all too, as you are freedom loving as well like I am!!
In the daily newspaper to-day, I read that their is hate-motivated gay assaults which are probed by the police in Hamilton., Ontario, Canada! The Hamilton police are looking for 3 suspects after two street assaults which were motivated by hate against gay men!! Both attacks happened last Saturday. A 23-year-old man walking with 3 female friends was attacked by 3 men who shouted anti-gay slurs; and that 23 year-old man was punched and kicked in the head and upper body. Police note that a second man was also assaulted under similar ways within an hour by the same suspects (two white males and a darker complexion one).
It is noted since many gay men have been murdered in Canada by anti-gay persons, so an past respectible Federal Goverment member for many years acted and came out saying that he was a gay man, and that he wanted anti-gay hate laws.
When 4 tried to kill me, the police did not do anything when I told them that my attackers had left me for dead and had called me with gay slurs!!
I hope that there will be no more gay bashing neither in 2007 nor in 2008 nor any other times in our democratic countries. May these two men mention above in Hamilton get such help with anti-gay laws!
How can we stop such bashings?
I view this as important for all persons. Who is to say when one is a gay person? Even if you are gay, that is no reason for being murdered! Straights are surely often thought of to be gay men!!
Hugs!
