This is extremely disturbing to hear. I am not in favor of the Homosexual lifestyle nor am I for Gay rights in regards to marriage and adoption; however, I am for the Homosexual person. I respect and love the individual as I would anyone else of any gender, race or religious persuasion. Regardless of how we live our lives, we all deserve to live them peacefully and without hate.
Unfortunately, many gays are attacked or abused on streets and elsewhere and these incidents are
not reported. The same occurs with women who are sexually harassed. This has to stop. Any incident that makes one feel uncomfortable or is a clear violation of the law must be reported in detail to the police. There is nothing anyone should fear because the law is on their side.


This panic can result in aggression because the heterosexual male feels that the gay male overstepped his boundaries and disrespected his masculinity. Two cases of this comes to mind. Years ago, on the "Jenny Jones" show, a gay man came on the show to reveal a crush he had on a heterosexual male. The heterosexual male was brought on the show with the news that "someone" had a crush on him.
Believing it to be a female, he gladly and excitedly participated. However, when the revelation was made that the crush was another male, this heterosexual male on the show seemed to take it in good stride, but looks can be deceiving. After the show, he killed the homosexual man claiming he was embarrassed on nation television and made out to look like if he was gay.

The other case was in Puerto Rico where a heterosexual Puerto Rican picked up a prostitute he believed to be a woman. When the prostitute revealed himself to be a 19 year old transsexual, the heterosexual man killed him, decapitated him and set his remains on fire in an apparent rage.

In any case, violence is not the answer. Heterosexual men must realize that sometimes they do not attract only females. Today's men's fashion have clothing that are skin tight and will reveal curves and bumps that will most likely attract gay men. Heterosexual males must realize this. Modesty is important. Gay men must also respect the fact that not every good looking guy can be approached and flirted with. Some heterosexual men who are mature will most likely smile and say they are not gay and not make a big deal, others may not be so peaceful.
I pray that this wave of attacks ceases and that all peoples gay or not can walk the streets of New York or any place and not feel as if they will be a victim of hate or violence.
