London sees
another gay bashing

Gay bashers have struck again near London's Clapham Common, the site where a gay bar manager was beaten to death last October. This time the victims are a gay couple, who were attacked as they left the Two Brewers gay bar in the early hours of Sunday. The attackers hurled abuse at the pair, then surrounded them in Clapham High Street. A 27-year-old man was knocked to the ground, suffering a serious head wound that left him unconscious. His 24-year-old boyfriend was also hurt, but not seriously. The two reportedly tried to fight back but were overpowered by the group of between three and six assailants. The Trinity Mirror reports the older of the two men was in stable condition at the hospital and his injuries were not thought to be life-threatening. Police are treating the attack as a hate crime.
