Three Men Arrested for Anti-Gay Assault in Minnesota
Three men have been arrested in an alleged anti-gay assault in St. Cloud, Minnesota, according to the St. Cloud Times:
"The incident happened at 2:24 a.m. in the alley near DB Searle’s, 18 Fifth Ave. S. The men hurled gay slurs at the man and beat him, said Martin Sayre of the St. Cloud police department. The victim is identified as a 22-year-old from St. Louis Park. He had cuts and bruises to his face and hands, Sayre said. Matthew Warren Thomas, 24, of Rogers, Chad Vincent Hands, 21, of Elk River, and Ryan Andrew Frane, 23, of St. Cloud were arrested and taken to Stearns County Jail."
The men have not yet been charged.
St. Cloud, Minnesota, is Michele Bachmann's district. What a surprise.

"White Cloud", Minnesota, and surrounding areas, is where the real meat of the homophobia in Minnesota we've been seeing lately is. So sadly, this is not a surprise. Hopefully the victim fully recovers physically and most importantly, mentally.
All 3 animals give off the classic disaffected drug user trash look. Time to go to prison losers.

LOL, Shannon. The first one is hot. The other two, not so much. Too bad they're haters.

This violence has, no doubt, been underwritten by every Republican legislator who voted to put the anti-gay marriage amendment on the Minnesota ballot in 2012. Shame on them for their complicity in this affair.

In MN, they'll be given medals. And even run for the repugs party.

Sometimes I think the worst gay-bashers are either self-hating gay males or were sexually abused and assume their abusers are gay, because I don't understand the thought process. Why would you risk your own freedom in attacking someone in such a vile way? And in a cowardly fashion. Three against one. Is that supposed to be manly?

Every time I see pics like these it makes me want to go all game of thrones on thier asses.

Being a thug means you forfeit physical attractiveness? Sorry, but none of those guys are ugly -- on the outside, anyway. It's not crazy to recognize that, although it's a little weird to deny it.

The middle one is obviously gay. He can't look at the camera.

Middle one looks like a serial killer. Keep an eye on that one.

Interesting. Three average looking, gay-bashing losers and the Towleroad queens are debating are they "good looking."
Of course, if anyone of them or heaven forbid all three were black, there would be 4 or 5 times as many comments, most racist, dropping of the n-word etc..
Interesting how when someone white does something wrong, it's merely seen as an aberration or just that individual person. Someone black makes a homophobic comment or commits an anti-gay crime (umm, against a white gay man), it becomes a huge referendum on ALL blacks being homophobic etc.
Trite, pathetic and typical. But carry on discussing their hotness.

He is dumb enough to put his work information on facebook, but then again he only went to community college and is a gay basher. I contacted his employer to let them know how he is representing the company, you should too!!

Gay white males accept white privilege??? Knock me over with a feather.

I love you Dalton! Now, where are the race baiters at? Huh??? This f@cking site would have been flooded with racist comments if the three men had been black.
Now you see why I and others complain when some of you muthaf@ckers play the race card? The double standards that you guys practice is so obvious.
Pathetic and horrible. Ugh!!!

Good work, Drew.

No problem, Mom. lol.
Hey, I have an idea - why dont we talk about the topic at hand. Why are people talking about race? If you are not racist, dont bring it up, unless... that is... you are racist. I mean seriously, think positive thoughts. You create your own reality with your thinking, if all you think about is how unfair racism is, then you are going to suffer from its effects just as much as I suffered from homophobias effects by constantly thinking about how much people hate gay people. I dont think about that anymore, I am no longer angry against straight people and life in general. I no longer make everything a "gay" issue. I no longer pull the gay card whenever i can, because it doesnt do anything at all for me, except keeps me in this woe is me mentality. I got over it. Im in a good place now. Im not saying there is no true to your race card comments, and im not agreeing with you either. I am just saying 'picking another theme song' can make the world a difference in how you experience all the good things in this life.
