16-Year-Old Lesbian Brutally Beaten By Group of Men in Kentucky

[William769]

A 16-year-old girl was brutally beaten by a group of adult men in what her family says was an anti-gay hate crime in Louisville, KY on Tuesday, NBC’s 9 News reports.

The girl was with two male friends, ages 13 and 15, walking to a store around the corner. The boys’ mother, Andi Hornback, said she received a call around 1 a.m. Tuesday asking her to come meet them because there were “four grown-ups following us a little too close.”

Before the boy could give his mother their exact location, the men started yelling anti-gay slurs at the girl, who is a lesbian, according to the news report. By the time Hornback arrived, a bystander had called 911 and EMS and police were on the scene.

The girl’s jaw was broken in several places to where she’ll need a plate put in her jaw, and she had several teeth knocked out. She is recovering at home. One of the boys suffered a concussion trying to help her.

These were not men (in any sense of the word), They are the worst of the worst (cowards, dishonorable, despicable (keep adding your own adjectives). Same goes for any "man" that hits a woman.
