your comments above unfortunately make it appear that you are not following wp npov and wp bio you wrote i believe any mention of a gay bashing hate crime would lead most readers to jump unfairly to the unspoken conclusion that mr button is gay practically all if not all news accounts of the attacks are very clear in stating the attacks were intended against gay people the police court system and at least one defense attorney for the attackers all said the attacks were a deliberate attempt to attack people the attackers thought were gay nowhere in the article does it say that mr button is gay the article says the attackers knew nothing about mr button's sexuality and that the victims of the attacks targeted at random simply because they were in an area of central park where the attackers believed gay people congregated there is no reason for the article to ignore the several news accounts that highlight that the attackers intended to attack gay people
