Attackers said to carve gay slurs on Nebraska woman; police probe
The attack prompted a vigil by about 500 people in the state's capitol Sunday.
The woman told police that three masked men entered her home in south Lincoln early Sunday morning, tied her up and carved words into her body with a knife, according to a police report. Local media reported that the words were gay slurs, but police declined to confirm this.
Police did confirm that the woman was injured and treated at a local hospital. Anti-gay graffiti was spray-painted inside the home, according to police. A fire also was set in the kitchen, but burned itself out after causing about $200 in damage, according to a police arson report.
Katie Flood, a spokeswoman for the Lincoln Police Department, said that "multiple detectives" are working on the case, but the department does not want to release many details this early in the investigation.

WTF! There seems to be a increase lately of hate crimes against Lesbians. I Will say it again, attacking any female is wrong, but as a hate crime also? These are not men by any definition.
