I have pretty much ignored this 'story' as just another gay guy seeking attention and media pushing the daily blacks and gays junk in our faces. I did read this an noted he was out alone at 2am....if this really happened he was a target for anyone regardless of his race or being gay.
Same thing happened to Kevin Spacey in London, claimed he was attacked while walking his dog at 4am. A few days later, he quietly dropped the charges.
