A hate-monger shouted anti-gay slurs at the first gay men to be married at West Point Military Academy before punching one of them in the face Sunday, police said.
The victim, Daniel Lennox-Choate, 30, and his husband, Larry Lennox-Choate, were shopping in a SoHo bodega during the incident, according to a Facebook post by one of the men.
A 40-year-old man came up and started yelling at the couple, police said.
The assailant punched Daniel, and his husband leapt to his defense, Larry wrote on Facebook.
He left covered in his own blood with his tail between his legs after I handled the situation and tossed him in the street like the coward loser he is, Larrys Facebook post reads.
No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
The victim graduated from West Point in 2007, two years before his husband. The two married in 2013.

(26,355 posts)The couple in question was not seriously injured, while the piece of shit responsible found that his bigotry cost him in teeth.
I fail to see a problem with this.
