Antigay Attacks
on Rise in Seattle

The Capitol Hill section of Seattle has seen a recent spike in malicious harassment incidents targeting gays and transgender people.

The Capitol Hill section of Seattle has seen a recent spike in malicious harassment incidents targeting gays and transgender people, according to The Seattle Times.

In October, a transgender woman was walking down Broadway Avenue when she was approached by a man. He immediately demanded to know whether she was "a man" and proceeded to call her names and motion as if he were going to hit her. The man, later identified as Charles Schewe, has been arrested and is awaiting sentencing.

Several other incidents in which perpetrators have shouted antigay epithets or assaulted gay men have been reported in the past 12 months and are being investigated. (The Advocate)
