You've created quite a few threads like this that make it seem like you really just don't like lesbians.
You need to calm down.
I don't have any problem with lesbians. Threads like these are almost always about specific people I feel are behaving badly, rather than lesbians as a group. Lesbians in general don't bother me at all, and I feel they should live life like the rest of us and be left alone.

The boys who attacked these women did so because one of the women talked back to them. This wasn't a gay bashing attack. They said repeated rude things because they were turned on from seeing the women kissing, one of the women spoke up and told them off, and they reacted violently.
These kids were awful and I want to see them prosecuted aggressively. No excuses for them, and 100% these women were victims.
However, this still wasn't a hate crime. They weren't attacked for being gay. They were attacked for talking back to perverts who wanted to see them kiss more.
Furthermore, I'm still not sure why nobody here wants to comment on the woman's nasty reaction to her sympathizers. That's the most interesting part of this story, and the only reason I created this thread in the first place. I saw this story a week ago before she wrote that editorial, and I didn't even find it interesting enough to post on PFA at that point.
