(Montreal, Quebec) - Quebec homosexual-rights groups have stepped up the fight against homophobia after a gay man was severely beaten in the provincial capital. Philippe, who did not release his last name, says four men with shaved heads followed him after he left the Le Drague gay bar in downtown Quebec City on July 1. After calling the 24-year-old man derogatory names, the assailants knocked him to the ground. In a melee lasting less than 60 seconds, the men punched and kicked him repeatedly. The victim spent two days in hospital and doctors needed eight screws to reassemble his jaw. "This man who was attacked is not alone. He has a community with him," said Olivier Poulin, president of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Quebec.
