Kevin Spacey was allegedly attacked in London...

Apparently he was walking his dog through a park, when he had the crap beat out of him and his cell phone was stolen. (On edit: )Now reports are saying that he just tripped over his dog while chasing after the kid that stole his phone. He told police he was attacked because a kid conned him into handing over his phone, and he thought that if he told them that he was attacked that they'd run right out and get the guy.

The reason I post this is because I've read three articles about this so far, and every single one brought up the way he has denied his being gay several times. Answer me this. What the hell does that have to do with him being attacked in a park in London? Why do people care if he's gay or not? Would that have made him any less attacked if he were actually attacked instead of just conned out of his phone?

1. I don't know why they do this

except maybe to suggest that because there are rumors that he is gay would be the reason for any attack on him? but since he injured himself by tripping it appears that it was only a robbery.

2. Are they trying to insinuate that it WASN'T a robbery?

Does this particular park have a cruising scene--that is, was Spacey only "pretending" to walk his dog? And maybe the fight erupted in the course of haggling over the price?

3. Spacey isn't just "gay," he's a chicken hawk (the old meaning)

of epic proportions. Stories (and photos) of Spacey and his fondness for impersonal encounters with very young hustlers have circulating for years. I'm willing to bet he had a run-in with some rough trade.
