Five lesbians brutally attacked by 15 men in shocking hate crime

Five lesbian women were severely beaten in an attack by 15 men outside of a club this weekend.

According to a report from the Portsmouth News, a group of women was leaving the Blue Anchor pub last Sunday in Portsmouth, England, when a group of men started shouting homophobic insults at them.

According to accounts from witnesses, a chaotic scene unfolded. The men started to attack the women, pushing them to the ground and beating them.

As women leaving the pub rushed to help the victims, more men joined in the attack that lasted 10 minutes according to police, but that a victim said “seemed like forever.”

Even if it was 5 on 5, they are still assholes.

do threads like this one get so little attention?!? We are witnessing so many incidents of sexism and misogyny in these days of our species' global disintegration -- are we inured to it?!? Calhoun was right, you know...

Sexism, racism, misogyny, homophobia... fear is the framework of our species' existence, and it's driving the anger that's manifest in the isms with which we have to contend.

"Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration." Frank Herbert was right, too...
