ORIGINAL: Madame4a It is surprising how much gays and lesbians bring up hatred in others... funnily enough, two lesbians were left beaten... the man wasn't .. was he? They might have said something, but the response he gave was unwarranted, in any context...and clearly out of proportion We don't know if he was beaten or not. I highly doubt these two women just layed down and let him beat the crap out of them without lifting a finger. I also find it hard to believe that they did absolutely nothing to provoke him ... I am disgusted by this whole thing for several reasons; adults acting like children, for one thing. Also, the fact that the women are playing the gay card -and- the female card. Growing up I saw lots of little boys told never to hit a girl but I never saw a girl told never to hit a boy. Its almost ingrained in our heads ... A man hits two women--THAT MONSTER! Now add in the gay card and its ... A man brutalized two helpless women because they were lesbians! THAT MONSTER!!!!!! They were all adults and they all behaved badly. They were all wrong. opposingtwilight: before you start ignoring the fact, had you bothered to click the link to the original story? Here is a quote from the original: Tuesday November 11, 2008 CityNews.ca Staff A routine day became anything but for parents outside an Oshawa elementary school last Monday. As Anji Dimitriou walked from the parking lot towards her six-year-old son, police say a man approached her. Her girlfriend, Jane Currie (pictured), was watching from their truck. According to the women, he asked Dimitriou, "Which one of you two men spoke to my kid?" He allegedly called the couple "f***ing dyke lesbians." Now, you tell me how this aggravated assault isn't crossing the line into a prejudicial slur and hate crime? It is one thing to physically assault another because they spat on you or they were retaliating against a perceived threat from you, yet to start slinging prejudicial slurs against a same sex couple is a whole new ball game. I can guarantee that if a man pulled that same bullshit on you, you'd be the first to pull the female card against your attacker. Maybe if you walked in our shoes for a month and see that living life as a gay man or a lesbian woman is no effin bed of roses at times. I live in a city of 58,000 and Oshawa has approx 146000 people. It is a damn shame that in a city 3X the sze as mine something such as that had to happen. The cold hard truth is homophobia happens in every damn city, town and village on this planet. And it's attitudes like yours which makes me really wonder about the mentality of humans.
