It’s been a while since I last posted something on this blog. Not because I’m still not the “Angriest Black Woman in American” because trust me, I STILL AM. It’s because I have been working on my Lesbian Comic, Lesbionix, and my next project that is still under wraps but will be revealed shortly. But don’t doubt for ONE SECOND that I haven’t been paying attention because I have. And let me tell you, MOTHER IS NOT HAPPY! I just got finished reading an article about a group of Lesbians who were attacked, DEFENDED THEMSELVES, and ending up going to prison. WTF? Yeah, that’s what I said too!
Seems like a group of Lesbians were walking to the train station in New Jersey when, a “street vendor” propositioned them. Obviously not interested in men because that’s what makes us LESBIANS, they turned him down. Not taking “no” for an answer, Dwayne Buckle, A.K.A. IDIOT on the street, proceeded to follow and taunt the ladies, making homophobic comments, grabbing his crouch, and stating what he “wanted to do to them”, including “fucking them straight!” He also spit on/at them and flicked a lit cigarette at them. The IDIOT eventually physically attacked these women who collectively fought him off TWICE, along with the aid of three men who came to help them. Somewhere during the fight, Buckle was stabbed. And this is where the bullshit comes in.
These ladies, who defended themselves against a CLEARLY homophobic attack, were ARRESTED, CONVICTED, and sent to PRISON! Yeah, the IDIOT HOMOPHOBE who attacked these ladies, sent THEM to prison. Now I know this occurred in 2006, but one of these ladies is still in prison. And I’d like to believe that with all the bullying of teens and young adults that has occurred in the last year, and their ensuing suicides, would make a difference today. But I find it mind boggling that these women, minding their own business, defending themselves against an attack, were portrayed as a LESBIAN GANG, and sent to prison.
To the media, these women were presented in animalistic terms like “wolves“, “wolf-packs“, and “she-wolf packs.” Oh, did I fail to mention that a security camera, mounted across the street from where the attack occurred, backed up these seven women’s account about what happened? And they were still convicted!
