Who Asks A Guy If He’s Gay at The Stonewall Inn’s Bathroom? These 2 Gay Bashers

Two men arrested for attacking another guy in the bathroom of the Stonewall Inn in NYC’s Greenwich Village shouldn’t be punished for punching and kicking the guy to the ground (though that too), but for utter stupidity: They asked the victim, who was standing at a urinal in the bathroom, whether he was gay. Appropriately, the man responded, “This is the Stonewall, it’s a gay bar.” (The men responded: “We don’t like gay bars, and we don’t piss next to faggots.”) After a fight that ended up in the main bar area, suspects Matthew Francis, 21, and Christopher Orlando, 17, fled — with the vic’s boyfriend and bar chasing after them. The assault comes after Friday night’s assault on two men attacked while kissing in Chelsea. Suspect Andrew Jackson is among those accused of throwing garbage cans at them and screaming lines like “Go home faggots, this is our neighborhood.” (No, it is not.)
