Stonewall Inn attacker: ‘I don’t discriminate against gays’
One of the men who brutally beat a gay man in the bathroom of the gay Stonewall Inn on Sunday insists that he is not homophobic.
An unapologetic Matthew Francis told Metro Weekly:
“I’m not going to sugarcoat what happened…It was a bar fight, but I swear on my life it’s not about gays or race or any of that. We don’t care about any of that stuff in this family.”
He told the Daily News:
“My sister’s a full-blown lesbian, I don’t discriminate against gay people.”
Francis, 21, and Christopher Orlando, 17, were charged with assault as a hate crime and attempted robbery. The New York Daily News reports the Staten Island men insist their attack on Ben Carver, 34, had nothing to do with his sexual orientation.
