Carver went to the Stonewall to meet some friends. He went to the men's room and two punks, Matthew Francis and Christopher Orlando of Staten Island, were waiting for him. One of them asked "are you gay?" and Carver said "where are you, buddy?" The reply was "don't pee next to me, faggot." The shits asked for money and Carver wouldn't give it to him. One of them cold-cocked him, the other tackled him and pinned his arms back while the first slugged him about a dozen times. Carver managed to grab a beer bottle in the sink and swung it at them. They recoiled and Carver was able to escape. He grabbed a pool cue and swung it at his attackers. The two punk-ass cowards ran, but bar staff ran after them. Carver said:
"It should be noted that the staff of the Stonewall are some bad ass, take no shit hombres," he wrote. "My kind of queers. I would very much like to buy them a drink."
The two attackers were caught and arrested.
Isn't it interesting that these two pieces of shit who hate faggots so much were hanging out in a gay bar men's room. I guess they thought sissys would make easy targets. Guess again, assholes.

I'm not surprised. Several times I was attacked coming out of gay bars in Philadelphia during the Eighties.
For some young toughs, the rite of passage into manhood (or what they call "manhood") requires that they "bash some queers." Thus the young toughs would beer themselves up (for courage) and ride to center city Philly and wait for closing time of the bars. Back in the Eighties, the cops would just stand around watching.
I live in Rehoboth Beach, DE now. We have a large gay population. We have had muggings here this past summer. The cops still harass the gay owned businesses in spite of the much vaunted Camp Rehoboth "sensitivity training" of the cops.
Homophobia is alive and well. Don't kid yourself into a false sense of security. It will be alive and well as long as our government officially sanctions gays and lesbians as second class citizens by not repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell and DOMA.
Stay safe and always be aware of your surroundings.
Sometimes violence against gays is perpetrated by attackers with a deep sense of self-loathing due to their own homo feelings. Very sad.
