Dehumanizing gay people in our society whether by religious zealots or political hacks appears to be having its effect. Shocking video shows brutal beating of Jack Price in New York. Surveillance video released in the case where investigators say the two Queens men taunted Jack Price and yelled anti-gay slurs before punching and kicking him early Friday after he left a 24-hour deli near his home in Queens.

Price suffered a broken jaw, fractured ribs, a lacerated spleen, and the collapse of both of his lungs.
He is currently in a medically-induced coma.


*updated to note Daniel Aleman and Daniel Rodriquez have both been arrested now in connection with attack

10. No. Homophobes are not usually gay. Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and Tom DeLay aren't gay.
Violence against gays isn't the result of self-loathing, repressed, gay men. Your argument is better known as "blame the victim".

The rampant homophobia in America is not caused by some inexplicable 'internal gay dissonance' among straight men and women.

6. Those two punks seem to be pretty good with their hands and feet...
Perhaps they could be dropped down in the middle of Baghdad and told guys like these two are all gay--


They could win the war for us...

7. Self Defense???
Does Aleman's lawyer REALLY believe anyone is going to believe that?

Good God! How chilling.

8. Folks wonder why I go armed...Good that they were caught, gay panic defense?
I have been beaten nearly as bad as this guy.
I had 2 friends, acquaintance really that were butchered, I mean had been castrated first, then hands arms and feet cut off then throats cut, they apparently were awake and aware while several held them down in one case(the guy was pretty scrappy from my understanding)
, this thing happened in 2 different states with a goodly number of kkk and evilgelical population and one was Md and one in Al.

They actually investigated and caught the guy in Al, he was arrested and sentenced to manslaughter another gay panic excuse..the convicted guy was a locally known male prostitute. He got 15 to 25 I think it was and this was about 1983 84, both happened about the same time.
I cannot remember could be that I don't really want to remember after seeing the police pics. If there was anyone caught and charged in the MD case I do not know, since I left a couple of days after this happened.

I had another friend who was beaten up and hit in the head with a brick around that same time too. He never regained consciousness, I have had some kkkrestians try to burn a cross propped up against my house.

I can't even count the times I have been threatened, physically attacked, called names had my car vandalized or heard about someone who has .

I think its time to fight back , outlaw these kreestian cults, or every faggot to get a gun and learn how to use it without flinching when the time comes to protect yourself because in Gawds Murika we don't get equal protection or rights.
