Woman & mother assaulted, mistaken for lesbian couple
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) A woman said she was just going out for a late-night dinner with her mother, when they were apparently mistaken for a couple and brutally assaulted in an anti-gay attack.
> We keep hearing the word lesbian said over and over again, Tiffany Santiago said.
> attacked ... by a group at a nearby table who started yelling anti-gay slurs and throwing things
> fighting escalated from shouting into shoving, and then an all-out brawl. He threw me across the restaurant, Santiago said. I dont even know how far I went, but I went through tables, chairs, glasses.
> her attackers were drunk, and said the restaurant owner .... also appeared drunk
When asked for comment, the owner would not speak to CBS2.

(2,078 posts)It's one thing to learn to hate people. It's another thing to physically assault them.
Not that it helps that Fox News is telling bigots that lesbian muslims are coming to America to institute gay marriage sharia law to kill Christmas and tell people Jesus was black. Also, Mexico.
But there's got to be something truly ugly lurking in people's hearts.
