Michel Brown in Flagstaff, AZ

Flagstaff police probe an alleged hate crime against several gay men trying to hail a taxi following a weekend Pride festival.

Michel Brown said he and his openly gay friends found themselves confronted by group of men yelling anti-gay remarks.

"People were getting pushed into the street," said Steven Tran, a witness. "They were hitting the pavement horribly hard, and then the next thing I know I heard a punch, the loudest punch I ever heard."

Tran said Brown fell to the ground.

"He's not moving," Tran said. "He's not responding. He's just lying there and he started to bleed."

Paramedics rushed Brown to the hospital.

arizona had hate crime laws for gays in 2008? really? shocking. i never knew that. As conservative as this state is id figure they would praise the attackers.
