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.

Preschooler Kicked Out of Catholic School for having Gay Parents

According to the Associated Press, a preschooler was kicked out of school because his parents were lesbians. The child will no longer be able to attend the Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School in Boulder, Colorado.

According to a statement by the Denver Archdiocese, the parents weren’t living up to the policies of the school and church. They said that students with gay parents would be “confused.”
