Christopher Bryant The editor of a gay and lesbian website and his boyfriend have been bashed in a homophobic attack in London. Gay Star News reports Christopher Bryant, editor of Polari magazine, and his partner Damon were walking home from Bryant’s birthday dinner through South London’s Betts Park when they were intercepted by a group of six men, who started speeding up and following them down the path. Bryant says that as soon as they started running, the men started running as well, and first caught his partner Damon. He told Gay Star News: “It all went down so fast.” When Bryant doubled-back to get the attackers off his partner, they beat him to the ground, kicking his face and saying “stay down faggot”. Bryant said that every time he tried to look up, his attackers would kick him in the face and said “don’t try anything”. Read more on Gay Star News here
