Anti-Gay Attack In PA?

penn3.jpg
A Pennsylvania man suspects two men attacked him last weekend because he’s gay. 40-year old Brett Saylor had been walking to work at 4:45 am on Saturday when two unidentified men approached, assaulted and allegedly gay bashed him.

Saylor, who moved to the area four months ago from Louisville, Ky., said the two men called him abusive names indicating they knew about his sexuality. He said they did not take his money or valuables.

State police Sgt. Edward Murphy said the assailants could face a hate crime charge in addition to assault and harassment because of the abuse about the victim’s sexuality.

Either that or they’ve got a twisted definition of “welcoming committee”.

I am originally from Central Pennsylvania (where this happened) and it doesn’t surprise me at all. The area between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh is very Republican, conservative, and homophobic.
