Words, some of them possibly homophobic, were exchanged.

[sarcasm]No liberal bias in this article.[/sarcasm]

...said Leomi, who wore a wig, makeup and women's clothing.

His parents must be so proud.

Wow, this is great on so many levels. Starting with a 23 year old in a Lexus hanging at Gay high and ending with a drag queen street fight and a possible drive by "mushing".Cops NOT calling it a hate crime is a bonus. .........Man, 23 in a Lexus and getting your ass kicked at Harvey Milk HS.

I don't believe any of this. I believe there might be resentment in the area over special treatment of the mentally impaired, but I doubt anyone would come after them because of it.

On the other hand, if someone was screwing around with my Lexus I'd have a problem. The kids probably just made up the rest. It's not like they have a proper perspective on society to begin with, so what's to stop them.

Let's face the facts here. Homosexuality is a mental disorder on par with any other mentally debilitating condition. Anything that would cause an organism to voluntarily filter itself out of the gene pool can be recognized as such.

You must have read a different article. They were at Starbucks when it happened, not at Harvey Milk HS.

Fantastic quote, right on the money.

Starbucks is only about 100 feet from Harvey Milk School, al,ost dorectly in front of it, and probably an informal hangout place for the students.

Dollars to donuts that 'Vernon Jones' from Brooklyn is African American.

I lived in NYC for 34 years - you get to read between the lines. This is probably why this isn't being considered a hate crime or bias incident.

But ... but ... but ... gays can't be violent. I mean, liberals are by definition intelligent, sensitive, consensus-building, and non-violent. Gays are liberal, so ipso facto they are non-violent. So, this crime is clearly the result of the right-wing, fascist, pro-Schwarzenegger conspiracy from within the Republican party. Those weren't gay children, they were actually suburban Christians who posed as gays and deliberately acted violent after creating a provocation for the sole purpose of defacing the good name of gay children everywhere.

Yeah, right. [/sarcasm]

One of the teens fiddled with the Lexus' sideview mirror, enraging the driver

How insensistive of the Lexus owner, the little darling was probably just borrowing it to fix his mascara.

I'm still pondering the fact that "homophobic words" were "exchanged." Both sides seemed to be speaking something that might be called Homophobics. I take it that this is a dialect of English, something akin to Ebonics.

And where (at 23) did he get the Lexus? This has a ring of "drug deal that got weird" to me. Vern was happy to sell to the interesting folks at HMHS, but didn't want them to touch his car ...

The school is very visible, so it's not unreasonable to assume that the school could be a target, or that the students could be targets," Tucker said. "That's the reason the school exists in the first place - to give the students some comfort."

Nothing contradictory about those statements, is there? Let's just make the students more comfortable by putting them all in one place so they'll be a huge target for haters.

I agree - something is fishy about this story, from both sides. I wonder if they searched both the Lexus and the drag queens and what they found.

Then again, you'd be surprised at some of the nice cars young people in NY have, funded by their parents. Girls I went to high school with were given Corvettes and Camaros by their folks.

I wasn't so fortunate - I paid for my rusted-out Datsun 210 station wagon with the fake wood-grain sides all by myself....
