My lovely town
"An internationally known drag queen and recording artist was robbed and beaten by four trash-talking bullies who shouted anti-gay slurs at him in the East Village early yesterday.
"We're going to kill you, f----t!" at least one of them screamed as they followed 38-year-old Kevin Aviance down the street. "We're going to get you, f----t!""

That area, 1st Ave from the teens down to Astor Place, always seemed like the coolest, safest place in New York to me. But you do get the occasional bunch of dummies from the Bronx or uptown or Jersey who want to bring their bullshit.

What a terrible story. I am still amazed at the intolerence that exists today. Hope he has a speedy recovery!
Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." I agree with the second part.
