Lu Ann Cahn recently reported on a couple in Kensington who say they’re being gay-bashed. They’ve called police dozens of times. The couple says their tires have been slashed, slurs have been used and someone left a steel penis on their doorstep. Cahn says “the phallic-shaped steel rod is a symbol of hate.”
Anyway, a neighbor interviewed said it’s not that they’re gay. It’s that they’re annoying and people are just using gay slurs because they’re gay.
“It’s not that he’s gay. We just don’t like the things that he wants to do,” said neighbor William Parks.
Parks admitted he doesn’t like the bathtub the couple has put in the courtyard between their homes and there have been neighborhood scuffles.
“But I mean why, if it doesn’t have anything to do with them being gay, why does someone spray-paint faggot? Why is there an assault? Why is there a penis on their steps?” Cahn asked.
“That would be just like if, say I was getting, got mad at somebody and I holler, ‘Here (expletive).’ You understand what I’m trying to say? And call me, ‘Hey you (expletive),’ or something like that. That would be the same thing,” Parks said.
“Well, someone just put a steel penis on their doorstep,” Cahn asked two women.
“What’s that about?” one of the women asked sarcastically.
“That could have been them that put it,” she added.
“You think they put it there?” Cahn asked, getting the response, “Probably.”
“Why would they do that?” Cahn pressed.
“Because they’re sick, probably,” the women answered.
A bold step for equality for all in this news report.
