A married gay couple (the first to marry at West Point, btw) were in a bodega in SoHo on Sunday when one of them was attacked by a man. A 40-year old man “screamed anti-gay obscenities” at the couple then punched Larry’s husband, Daniel Lennox-Choate, in the face. Larry Lennox-Choate wrote on Facebook.
“It’s hard to believe that in 2015 we would have to deal with anti-gay hate crimes in soho of all places but that’s what happened today.”
“The guy who screamed anti-gay obscenities at us in a bodega before sucker-punching Danny?. 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. The hate crimes division of the NYPD is on the case and we have full faith a positive outcome will follow.
We refuse to be victims and are thankful we can defend ourselves, but are saddened by the fact that idiots like this guy might not pick two guys who went through Plebe Boxing next time.”
Daniel graduated West Point in 2007, and the couple got married in 2013.
“Aside from one fat lip and a sore punching arm, we are fine.”
The New York Daily News reports the police are investigating but no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
