Three men in Ypsilanti Township Monday assaulted a woman who was able to marry her partner during the brief repeal of Michigan’s gay marriage ban.

Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office deputies reported the 28-year-old woman got off the bus about 6 p.m. Monday in the area of the 3000 block of Roundtree Boulevard in Ypsilanti Township.

The woman told investigators she got off the bus in the area and was walking home through an apartment parking lot. Three men approached her, with one of them using a homophobic slur, calling her a derogatory name for a woman and asking her if she had recently been on the news.

A man then punched her in the face, knocking her to the ground and causing her to lose consciousness. When she woke up, one of the men was kicking her in the torso.

3. That is some sick shit. Please let these bastards be found and charged with

the most severe of 'hate crime' charges.

We live 40 miles east of Ypsi and I'm ashamed.

9. "Fucking white men." Really? That seems uncalled for.

1. Only one of three assailants has been identified as a white man.

2. Do you say "fucking black men" when a black guy is identified as an assailant?

I suppose this can't be reverse racism, but it smells like reverse bigotry.

11. The wrong side of history

When you have to beat people to force them to conform to your life views, you are on the wrong side.
When you have to beat minorities to force them to accept an inferior role in society, or women to force them into a submissive role, or workers who don't accept their exploitation by the "makers", or protesters who stand up for their rights against warmongers and vulture capitalists, or gay folks who try to achieve the American Dream, then you are on the wrong side, not only of morality but of history.
If you feel you have won a victory today with your violent tactics, you will eventually lose, because the good people will never succumb.
