The New York City Anti-Violence Project is investigating reports of a ninth incident of anti-gay violence to occur in New York City this month. The latest incident is being reported on the New Civil Rights Movement Blog, after going viral on Facebook on Saturday. LGBTQ activist Eugene Lovendusky, a member of the group Queer Rising, which has been an integral part of the response to recent bias attacks, reports that he was attacked himself on Friday night, May 24th in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. A close friend reported that Lovendusky had been attacked by a group of 9 to 10 men who shouted anti-gay slurs and punched him in the jaw.
