Now you can't be gay in Hollywood? A man was attacked in Hollywood because he is gay.
Los Angeles police Officer Gregory Baek of Media Relations says the victim — identified as a 39-year-old Hispanic male — was reportedly approached by three suspects who asked him if he was gay about 1:30 Sunday morning.
After answering in the affirmative, the man was subsequently attacked and, according to Baek, lost consciousness momentarily.
Police said the men only stopped beating the victim when a passerby intervened.
The victim reportedly took a cab to the hospital upon regaining consciousness, Baek said.
The man was released from the hospital Sunday morning. He is expected to make a full recovery.
Resident Daniela Castro told us she was shocked that something like this happened in her neighborhood. “I hate that people have to think that way. People need to be more open-minded.”This is odd. Hollywood is one of the gayest places here. I hope they find these freaks.

If we're not safe in our own communities where are we safe?
Really odd, but even in the one of the gay-friendly cities there can be close-minded assholes intent on causing harm. I live in one of the most friendliest, liberal-minded cities in the US- Portland Oregon, and I've been stopped by cops more times in the 4 years I've been here ( walking down the street with groceries or my gymbag makes me look suspicious) than in my 20+ years living in Wisconsin.
It happens in New York too. It's not safe anywhere from these haters.
