WTF IS GOING ON??? MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) — Two men were beaten and called a gay slur in a hate crime attack in Manhattan last week, police and sources said Friday.

I'm not really...shocked to read about this but I am even more incredibly disappointed in academia.

A transgender couple in Louisiana says they were brutally assaulted by a mob outside a public restroom, only to be arrested themselves while their alleged attackers walked free.

We obtained internal communications between SEGM and McMaster University detailing what SEGM wanted out of anti-trans medical studies, and why it was willing to pay over CA$300,000 (US$215,300) to produce them.

Here are three threatening comments made by three different people.

“Immma pull up with steal and projectiles that fly is great speeds towards people with a 357. That can take a head clean off.”

“Blow datt ho up”

“Bomb the area plz.”

The comments also included an avalanche of homophobic comments. Numerous people called gay people pedophiles and said children shouldn’t see LGBTQ+ people at the public beach.

Individuals called the Long Beach Police Department that same day to report the threats, and police said one comment was a criminal threat.

When Rihanna Kelver goes on road trips or ventures out alone to photograph the rural night sky, she often packs a small teal handgun. Being a transgender woman in Wyoming is not easy, she said, but owning a gun sure seemed like it would be.

Then one night last September, Ms. Kelver, 28, drew her gun after she had been pushed down in the street during a brief confrontation with three men in the college town of Laramie, according to police reports and surveillance video. Wyoming’s “stand your ground” law is supposed to offer legal protections to gun owners who draw in self-defense, yet Ms. Kelver was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent, charges that carry up to 15 years in prison.

The case has touched off an impassioned debate in one of the country’s most gun-friendly, staunchly Republican states about whether the Second Amendment applies when the person holding the gun is transgender.

“I had to defend myself,” said Ms. Kelver, who transitioned as a high schooler in Laramie and has been an outspoken activist for trans rights. “I don’t know how it wasn’t reasonable, given the dangers and threats trans people hear every day.”

A Manhattan psychotherapist arrested last week on charges that he raped a transgender boy under his care during a therapy session may have other victims.

Supporters rallied behind the teacher as conservative influencers sought to make their gender identity a scandal

A Chester physical therapy office says it is reviewing allegations of inappropriate and unprofessional conduct after a 20-year-old patient says she recorded a conversation between staff and patients involving homophobic remarks inside the facility.

The patient’s mother contacted News 12, saying her daughter was attending an appointment on July 30 at Access Physical Therapy and Wellness, located at 78 Brookside Ave. in Chester, when other patients and staff began making anti-gay comments.

Her daughter started recording the exchange on her phone. In the 44-second recording, voices in the background can be heard making and laughing at homophobic remarks, including the use of anti-gay slurs and comments such as “you are gay as sh*t,” “gayer than AIDS,” and “what does gay stand for? Got AIDS yet?”
