Washington Blade Online – Looking hate in the face

Chris Crain’s own story: Washington Blade Online
All that said, the outpouring of e-mails from around the world have touched me more than I can say. As soon as I feel able, I will be posting a new blog entry on some of the most interesting comments I’ve received, including those that attempt to place my attack in the context of Dutch struggles on immigration issues.

My original post:

If you would have told me when I first came out that at some point in my life I would be beaten up for being gay, I would never have imagined it like this. As a child of the South, where “fag” and “queer” were everyday insults, I would have expected a fist to the face somewhere back home for sure.
