While not uncommon, a gay bashing in NYC occured this past weekend but this time it was to someone who is a bit more widely recognizable. Kevin Aviance, the singer/lip-sync diva, was in the East Village on Saturday night and was assaulted by four college-aged men cowards who beat him then "threw objects at him". There were also "passers-by" but apparently none of them attempted to stop this from happening. La Aviance had his jaw broken (it's being wired shut yesterday) and hopefully he'll be recovered enough to perform over Pride Weekend.
I've known Kevin for almost 10 years and have to say that besides being an incredibly talented person he is also a wonderful person. I also know that he's a fighter and will come out of this experience stronger.
Lastly, may God have mercy on the mothah-fuckahs who did this because the House of Aviance will not take kindly to their actions. Those boys picked the wrong faggot to fuck with.
