Lesbians Charged in Alleged Hate Crime Against Gay Man

Three lesbians in Boston have been charged with a brutal hate crime, but according to the Boston Herald, their attorney might argue their sexual orientation prevents them from being charged as such. Erika Stroud, her sister Felicia Stroud, and her partner Lydia Sanford allegedly viciously attacked a gay man Sunday at the Forest Hills MTBA subway station, kicking and punching him after he bumped into the women in a stairwell. The victim, who has not been named in news reports yet, told police the women “called him insulting homophobic slurs." He was treated for injuries that included a broken nose.
