Josie Attacked

September 12, 2007

20070911_josie_320x240.jpg It's never been a secret that we're sort of Bravo's gay-little-sister site, so it was both heartbreaking and disturbing when we got the news this morning that one of our own bloggers was attacked.

Josie Smith-Malave, was the victim of a gay bashing on Long Island on Labor Day.

According to the piece in the New York Daily News, Josie and a group of friends were at a bar in Sea Cliff, Long Island with her sister when they were attacked.

Attorney Yetta Kurland said, "...as many as 10 'young adults' followed the women out, circled them, screamed anti-gay slurs, spit on them and then punched and kicked them. A camera belonging to one of them was stolen...."

Kurland also reported that the women suffered bumps, bruises, and minor head injuries in the attack.

We honestly don't know what to say, but our best wishes are with Josie and her loved ones.
