Gay soldiers brutally attacked at fast food restaurant

Two gay soldiers were brutally attacked at a Colorado Springs fast food restaurant on Saturday morning. The victims say that they were attacked because they are gay.

When the group of soldiers walked into the restaurant, a “group of black men and women” started making remarks about the way they were dressed. As they tried to leave, they were physically attacked.

Two were rushed to the hospital, one with a fractured face.

“We walked in and immediately one black male started making remarks like, ‘faggot.’ […] I turn around and my friend was getting stomped by six black males, another female friend of mine was trying to fight off three or four men.”

The identities of the victims were withheld due to the pending status of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy.
