Bravo received a dispatch this morning from Josie Malave-Smith’s lawyer, regarding her Labor Day weekend attack: We print it here for you, with our thanks:
As you know, hate crimes inflict on victims indescribable physical and emotional damage. They not only harm the individual victims but send a powerful message of intolerance and hatred to all members of the group to which the victim belongs, as well as those of us who have friends and family who are harmed by this type of violence.
What happened to Josie hurts all of us, and she would like you to know that she was deeply moved by the incredible outpouring of support from the Bravo community.
More powerful than the ignorant actions of some is the strong message in straight and gay communities across this country that violence, bigotry, and hatred will not be tolerated.
We thank all of you for your well wishes and thoughts during this difficult time and Josie and those who experienced this incident look forward to finding a way to turn this horrible incident into a force for positive change.
