Ohio Couple's SUV
Set Ablaze Following Earlier Attack

A Columbus, Ohio, couple whose SUV was set ablaze on Tuesday has subsequently revealed that they were attacked last September. John and Larry Charlton say they were attacked while walking down the street by a group of men who first yelled a gay slur at them, WBNS TV reports. They didn't come forward at the time, but after the incident with their car, police urged them to go public.

"Why in the world did these people jump us?" Larry Charlton told WBNS. "How can they be that hateful to two people just walking down the street?"

The Charltons have been a couple for more than seven years. (Advocate.com)
