Toxic masculinity at its finest.

Does it make them feel like real men to gang assault a homosexual?

They aren't fearing a physical assault. It's a group fear of feelings stirring inside them.

This was sickening

Chris Larson is the player in question.

Its spelled Chris Larsen: https://www.cfl.ca/players/chris-larsen/164912/

Say goodbye to your CFL career, say hello to criminal charges, say hello to a lifelong record, and say hello to a massive lawsuit.

Not so smart now. Find other ways to prove your manhood

What kind of an idiot beats up on gays? That's so eighties.

 

[HEYHEY]

If they beat him up simply for being gay then that's disgusting and uncalled for.

I have a feeling that it was an altercation over something else and the gay card was pulled after the fact to gain more sympathy and outrage.

My experience is that blokes who hate gay men are usually struggling with their own gay impulses. Almost all religious preachers who are anti gay are the same way. Those who hate gays that much are not only fighting their gay impulses but tend to be profoundly stupid.

I never understood the impulse to hit someone who expresses their interest in you. Had a gay bartender hit on me back in the 80s. Just said thanks, not on that team, good luck elsewhere. It's a compliment. Take it and move on. Why would you want to beat the snot out of him (unless he's assaulting you)?

Already a thread on this. You should know better by now to look to see if these topics have already been posted. I know you like getting the jump on news stories, but you don't need to clog up the lounge with multiple threads.

IIRC there was a guy in the 80's who frequently gay bashed, he ended up getting AIDS.

Doctor Links HIV Case to Beating of Gays

A man who says that he frequently beat up homosexual males over a period of six years may have contracted the AIDS virus from the blood of his victims, his physician says.

Yeah I was wondering the same since we don't have all the facts, but I also feel like they may have gone over board because he was gay. I mean, it seems like it was an excessive beating.

Judging by the link Jenesis posted, seemed like it was an outright gay bash.

An idiot that is gay and fighting his inner feelings. This is based on the often out come that ended up happening to the idiots that did that back then. Jock beats up on gay guys because he is secretly gay.

So it says in one article that Larson was on his bike down there.

Hard to fathom that there isn't any video out there of this or that there are no witnesses.

If it is a straight case of an individual getting beaten up for being gay than that's reprehensible.

I'd really like to hear what the three accused have to say before passing at what seems to be an obvious judgement.

Something just feels off here......Or maybe I just don't want to believe people are capable of this sort of thing.

lol. The football player is 6'3" 250 lbs. Maybe they were arguing about football. That's how their paths crossed. Simple case of random street sports argument and now the "victim" is playing the gay card. hey hey. that's the ticket.

It's unfortunate. LGBTQIA+ people are never safe.

Even in very accepting communities like downtown Toronto. Even during a month dedicated towards accepting LGBTQIA+ people.

Such an unfortunate incident.

Looks like that CFL player is not a suspect at all:

Few tips, no arrests in alleged homophobic attack near Hanlan's Point

Police asking anybody who witnessed June 5 assault to contact them

Guys career is basically over on nothing more than an allegation.
