Seven lesbians charged in straight man's stabbing
published Monday, August 21, 2006
Seven lesbians from Newark, N.J., attacked and seriously injured a street vendor in New York's West Village early Friday after the man grew angry when his advances to one woman were not returned, the New York Daily News reported.
Police said the women whipped Wayne Buckle, 28, with belts; the subject of his attentions, Patreese Johnson, 19, then stabbed him repeatedly with a steak knife, the Daily News said.
One of the women yelled "She's my girl, and no one hits on my girl!" during the incident, a police source told the paper.
"He made the mistake of spitting at one of them," Diego Rodriguez, who works at a nearby newsstand and called 911, told the paper. "They beat him up bad with belts, kicked and punched him."
Later, at the police station house, where the seven suspects, ranging in age from 18 to 31, were charged with gang assault and criminal possession of a weapon, another woman told the Daily News that Buckle "called us [homophobic slur] and he said he was going to f--- us all."
Said another: "He spit on us and threw a cigarette. This is a hate crime."
Buckle was recovering at a New York hospital in critical but stable condition. (The Advocate)

Although I don't approve of any kind of violence, the matter of fact is that he has started it first! Heterosexistic and homophobic men (or women) MUST LEARN the lesson that we- GLBTI people- are not the defenseless objects of their abuse, whether verbal of physical, anymore! Those days, when gays and lesbians trembled and shivered in fear of heterosexistic attacks and harrassments, are OVER AND MUST BE OVER! My FULL SOLIDARITY with the attacked gay women who only reacted in self-defense!!! And, why are they arrested????????? They need to be advised that in similar situation they should immediately call police (which is hopefully ready to defend us!, or not??) instead of return the violence with violence, but, now, they (7 gay women) should be released from jail, IMMEDIATELY!
