Elk, my heart goes out to you. I can't imagine how scary it must have been for you, being attacked over your sexuality. It's one of my greatest fears, being assaulted over who I am. And to see it happen to someone who I don't personally know, but look up to in a way? Well it just brings to light how horrible people can be. I seriously hope you recover fast, and that nothing like that EVER happens to you again.
