It's Taken Me Awhile To Talk About The Woman Who Was Gang Raped For Being A Lesbian In Richmond,CA!

A young woman was brutally attacked,kidnapped,& raped for being a lesbian last month.Since I've been the victim of a crime myself,it took me awhile to speak on this incident. It's hard to come to grips with the fact that as a female you are in danger of being raped by a man every time you step out into the streets.What is really horrific in this case is that she was taunted for being gay by these men in addition to everything else they did. The vitriol towards women that some men have is really terrifying. Fortunately, the guys who did this have been caught. Here's more on that from MSNBC:

"Two men and a teenager have been charged in the alleged gang rape of a lesbian in the San Francisco Bay-area.

Prosecutors on Tuesday charged 31-year-old Humberto Hernandez Salvador and 21-year-old Josue Gonzalez with kidnapping, carjacking and gang rape in the attack last month in Richmond.

The pair did not enter pleas when they appeared in Contra Costa County Superior Court."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28530013/

I'm just wondering why they weren't charged with committing a hate crime as well.
