Michael Bustin Two Ohio men who were beaten while walking home from a
drag show were apparently targeted because they're gay, police say.
Michael Bustin, a student at Miami University in Oxford, was walking
home Saturday with a friend, with whom he briefly held hands, when he
heard someone yell a derogatory term, he told Cincinnati TV station
WLWT. Then four men approached them, and one began beating Bustin's
friend.
"I got in the way of the two, saying we wanted to go home. We didn't
want any harm. Then I got sucker-punched twice in the face," Bustin
said. The attackers fled after some other students intervened.
Oxford police believe Bustin and his companion were attacked because
they're gay, and the police department is working on sketches of the
suspects, the TV station reports. There has also been quick reaction
from the university, which sent out a bulletin about the attack, and
the dean contacted Bustin.
"It actually made me feel humbled that the university looked into my
matter," Bustin said. "I just want this to be a message. Just stop
hate."
