Gay Couple Attacked in Arizona

by @ 1:40 pm. Filed under Gay News, Hate Crimes

365Gay.com is reporting a gay male couple was attacked and beaten by up to seven men after leaving a restaurant in Scottsdale.   Amazingly, no one from the restaurant saw a thing.    

Andrew Frost and Jean Rolland say the attack took place just feet from the restaurant’s front doors.  

Frost, 19, needed numerous stitches to close wounds on his head and face. Rolland, 28, suffered many bumps and bruises.

“I had blood pouring out of me and I actually blacked out at one point,” Frost told the Arizona Republic.

He said that as he and Rolland exited the restaurant he heard someone yell “fag”. He said he turned and saw two men. Frost said that he replied to the slur and one of the men punched him. He said that at least five others rushed from the restaurant and joined the attack.

Frost and Rolland have filed a police report, but no one at the restaurant seems to have seen anything. The couple said they had never seen their attackers before.
