2 Lesbian actors Stoned by Lads Southampton
 

Was first reported on LBC radio.


[Two actors were attacked on their way to a theatre performance in what was described as a "cowardly homophobic hate crime".
Lucy Jane Parkinson and Rebecca Banatvala were starring in Rotterdam, which tells the story of a young gay woman, at Southampton's NST Campus.
The theatre company said they were left "hugely shaken" after an object was thrown at them on Saturday afternoon.
Hampshire police said it had received a report of homophobic abuse.
The final two performances of the
Olivier Award-winning play by Jon Brittain were cancelled as a result.]

More Evil Lads

How would the lads know they were gay? Surely the headline should read "2 Women's stoned " then later in the story it should say "They turned out to be gay"

Firstly, what difference does it make?

And secondly...

... I think they probably knew.

Can you not read it properly?

It doesn't make 1 iota of difference, thats why I said why not say 2 women ?

Because they Kissed each other
reported on LBC Radio

Another one? Disgusted.

But it isn't any worse that they just happen to be gay ,so why the dramatic headline ? Isn't it bad enough 2 women ( straight or gay) getting stoned ?

But if they got attacked whilst kissing, that is a homophobic attack? You are correct it’s bad enough that two women got attacked, but it’s important to portray it as a homophobic attack should it be one.

Because they were stoned while kissing, something that wouldn’t have happened if it was a man and a woman, so their sexuality is very much relevant to the story

Disgraceful behaviour!

One of the Gay Women was hurt bad
so they cancelled the performance.


This Lads
are Evil.

So awful, we really are going backwards.

Yes its sad news
Young lads hatting Gay Women

What sort of sad cases drive around in a car throwing stones at people?

Yes it appears that way

Arista you can use the word lesbian in place of gay women you know

For You
Yes.

i haven't a clue what's going on here. Even 50 years ago this sort of thing wasn't happening in the UK

Brexit Britain

Bigotry is in ascendance. Trump and right wing in Europe

Well when you see what has been going on for 7 weeks in Birmingham and continues to escalate with no resolution in sight, it seems to be encouraging these attacks

It's clearly a homophobic attack, trying to downplay it as anything else is gross.

Absolutely awful and has really affected a lot of us in the town. Doesn't make me or friends feel that safe being ourselves when things like this are happening 5 minutes up the road.

Because them being gay is the entire REASON they were attacked?
