Hunt for girls after killing of gay man

"A gay man who was attacked by two teenage girls and a young man in a suspected homophobic assault in central London has died.

Ian Baynham, 62, suffered severe brain damage after being punched and kicked to the ground after remonstrating with a group who had shouted homophobic abuse.

The attack took place on 25 September and he died of severe head injuries nearly two weeks later on Tuesday evening. Doctors switched off his life support machine.

Mr Baynham, from Beckenham, south-east London, had been walking through Trafalgar Square, a short distance from the city's gay district of Soho, with a 30-year-old male friend when he was attacked shortly before 11pm."

in many subcultures, and in supposed newspapers. It makes you wonder why someone transgressing a 1950s-era gender role is seen as OK to abuse, ridicule, maim and murder.
