A 16-year-old Louisville, Kentucky teen had her jaw broken in several places and teeth knocked out of her mouth by a group of adult men witnesses say beat her for being gay. The men yelled anti-gay slurs while attacking her.

The girl was with two teen male friends when the attack happened, 9 News reports:

Andi Hornback, the mother of the two boys, got a call after 1:00 Tuesday morning. Her sons, ages 13 and 15, had slipped out of the house for a quick walk to a store around the corner.

"My son called me and said 'Mom, can you come meet us because we feel uncomfortable," she says. "There are four grown-ups following us a little too close."

The boys said the men started yelling anti-gay slurs toward the teen girl before they could give their mom the exact location over the phone.

The attack happened in front of two churches.

Said family friend Brenda Hickerson: "Her jaw is broken in several places and she has to have a plate put in her jaw. She has teeth knocked out of her mouth and she has scrapes and bruises. She was on the ground with blood just pouring out of her face, These grown men put her on the ground, kicked her in her stomach, kicked her in her face and punched her in the face and kept going until a bystander yelled stop and called 911."

This year, organizers added another first: They urged service members to ask their commanding officers for permission to march in their uniforms." But...maybe not.

'Mitt Gets Worse' Campaign Highlights Romney's Anti-LGBT Agenda: VIDEO

Jennifer Chrisler, Executive Director of the Family Equality Council, is featured in one of the first web videos from the "Mitt Gets Worse" campaign, organized to bring attention to Mitt Romney's anti-LGBT agenda.

The Boston Globe writes:

The “Mitt Gets Worse” campaign, launched Wednesday by the Courage Campaign Super PAC and American Bridge 21st Century, is a compilation of video testimonies from people who describe Romney as insensitive and willing to put his political ambitions ahead of equality. The campaign’s website also features video of Romney discussing LGBT rights as far back as 1994, when he ran unsuccessfully for US Senate.

If elected president, the super PACs suggest, Romney would roll back protections for LGBT citizens -- perhaps pushing for a federal ban on gay marriage, which he supports; defending the Defense of Marriage Act in court, which the Justice Department has ceased to do under Obama; and undermining the repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

Someone came to our home, busted our window out of the back of my car," says Tasso, "our home was broken into, profanity was spray painted on the front of our driveway, and you know it's just a scary feeling for us."

"We just felt like there needed to be something done," says James "because it's not just us this stuff happens everyday, and I mean it's not noticed or recognized and there's got to be some kind of justice."
