Indiana Man Severely Beaten in Anti-Gay Assault
The South Bend Tribune reports:
"Police said the man could provide few details of the attack because of the severity of his injuries, including broken bones, a smashed nasal cavity and deep cuts to his face. Police said the man, who listed his address as Leesburg, Ind., was in South Bend on Sunday to attend a party and watch a football game with other gay men. The man said he learned about the party through e-mail and couldn't remember the home's address. The man told police he left the party shortly after midnight and was attacked by a group of five or six men as he walked to his car. The man could provide few details about his attackers but said they called him a derogatory word and then proceeded to kick and beat him."
According to the paper the man, who is 54-years-old, managed to drive himself to a friend's house but passed out in his car due to his injuries. He was taken to a local hospital.

Yeah, but for God's sake, don't start carrying guns or anything, because then you'll be "PART OF THE PROBLEM."
Aren't we sick of this yet? Arm all gays, now.
