A gay Wisconsin man is recuperating after he was assaulted so badly that his jaw was broken and all of his teeth had to be pulled. He claims that it was a homophobic hate crime.
He has been charged with felony battery including great bodily harm as a hate crime as well as two counts of misdemeanor bail jumping. He appeared in court on October 7, where bond was set at $10,000.
In June, the FBI reported that anti-gay hate crimes had increased steadily year-over-year from 2015 to 2017, with 1,130 incidents reported that year. A majority of those targeted gay men.
