A 26-year-old gay man says he was the victim of a brutal hate crime early Sunday in Reno, Texas - a small town just east of Paris and about 100 miles northeast of Dallas.
Burke Burnett said he was at a private party at about 1 a.m. when four men suddenly attacked him, stabbing him at least twice with a broken beer bottle before throwing him onto a fire. His attackers yelled things like pussy-ass faggot, gay bitch and cock-sucking punk, Burnett said.
Burnett said it took 30 stitches to close stab wounds to his back and forearm, as well as a cut above his left eye. He also sustained second-degree burns and severe bruises.
They knew I was gay, Burnett said Monday. Im convinced they were trying to kill me.
