The story about the gay couple allegedly being beaten by a group of young well dressed men and women in Philadelphia the other night has been the topic on social media and local television news stations the last few days. In fact a video of the accused walking down a street in center city has been blasted all over the internet and TV. Never mind there are two sides to every story these people are guilty according to the news media and some comments posted on Facebook and Twitter.
This morning one of the Philly television stations posted on their website this headline, \”Catholic teacher is being charged with assault on gay couple.\” And across the nation newspapers and other internet sites were also mentioning that some of the people involved in the altercation were Catholics. For example: The NY Daily News, \”Catholic school basketball coach in Philly fired after alleged attack on gay couple\”. The Daily Kos ran this headline \”One Philadelphia Gay Bashing Suspect is a Catholic H.S. Assistant Coach Who Was Fired Last Night\”.
