THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW HOMOPHOBIA, TAUGHT BY VARIOUS RELIGIONS, HARMS "THY" NEIGHBOR.
Jack Price, the 49-year-old gay victim of a brutal beating in Queens, New York, spoke Saturday to New York daily the Daily News.
Price was attacked last week by two men as he was coming out of a corner deli around 3AM in the middle-class neighborhood of College Point in Queens, Police say.
Price managed to make his way home after Daniel Rodriguez, 21, and Daniel Aleman, 26, kicked and pummeled the 5-foot-6, 130-pound Price in the middle of the deserted street. He was taken to Booth Memorial Hospital where officials say he suffered a broken jaw, fractured ribs and a lacerated spleen.
“I thought I died,” Price told the paper. “I was bleeding all over the place.”
“Better it was me. Someone else may not have survived it,” he added.
Price says the two men followed him to the store and called him a “stupid faggot” and “dumb faggot” in Spanish.
