Go out of your way to be offensive, be a overweight middle age man, dress up like a nun, someone takes offense and punches you in the nose. Seems like a normal course of events. Next time try dressing up like and mocking Mohammad and see what the response is.

Eexposed as a queer sympathy stunt in 3, 2, 1....

Uh huh. I’m sure.

There is a point when civil discourse no longer works.

>> the order of queer nuns

They aren’t nuns. They’re just queer.

I’d like to see what would happen if they held a Gay Pride parade in a Middle Eastern country and wore cleric’s clothing...

[yldstrk]

[MeshugeMikey]

The hate crime was a bunch of faggots dressing up like nuns.

Why do they call the attackers homophobic? If they were afraid of the homos wouldn’t they be running away instead of attacking?

[greene66]

The perverts dressing as nuns are “haters” themselves, projecting hate and hatred on Christians and Christianity. They’re just getting a bit of very well-earned hatred directed back towards them.

If the attackers were white I’m sure the writer would’ve pointed that out.

[I want the USA back]

Everything and anything a normal person says is now a hate crime. Breathing while straight is a crime.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Police are treating the attack as a hate crime because the sexual orientation of the victims appeared to be the only motive for the attack, Esparza said.

And yet, when a group of black kids beats up an elderly white peson while yelling slurs, the police and press go out of their way to NOT label it a hate crime. Whether something "appears to be the only motive" is in the eye of the biased beholder.

Someone posted a comment under the article suggesting the attackers were "typical right-wing perverts who are obsessed with what goes on in everyone else's bedroom."

That's strange, this whole Pride Day is about as public and in-your-face as it gets.

If one reads the comments, it would seem the majority view is that the perpetrators should be executed.

[Gay State Conservative]

Never,ever,*ever* would I,as a juror,vote “guilty” on any charge concerning a “hate crime”.That is simply because I absolutely reject the validity of all such laws.I don't give a rat's hindquarters whether a guy assaults someone because he was having a bad day or because the assaultee was a pervert.I'd decide the case mainly on whether or not the evidence shows that an illegal assault occurred and,if the evidence shows that,on the severity of the injuries.And that goes for an assaultee who's a pervert...one who's a minority...one who's female and one who's just like me.

Pride? Is the act of sodomy such an achievement as to make someone “proud”?
