Recall that celebrity-studded magazine anniversary party reviewed on Line Out recently? With Samantha Ronson? And these guys? And this:

Number of people involved in the fistfight outside around 1:40am: 3 throwing punches, 12 or so rubbernecking

Perhaps you saw this comment to that post:

What we need to talk about is the girl who was gay bashed outside at the end of the night. I think you had left right before Gina. But at the end of the night a guy sucker punched a dyke, knocked her out cold and continued to beat the crap out of her and kick her in the face.

Blood was everywhere and no one was defending her. All the big guys standing around that couldve stopped him and no one did. WTF SEATTLE?!

This girl has a fracture in her face and her eyes have been swollen fucking shut. Because of this douchebag who called her a dyke as he continued to beat her face in while she was already knocked out. May I mention that he was around 6'7" and she was about 5'5".

Believe you and me were going to get this guy on a hate crime.....

But thanks for the shout Gina about the zine. Appreciate it. And would love to talk to you more about this gay bashing maybe you can help spread the word?

Well, as Towerload reports today, Ronson has posted pictures of the alleged assault victim as well as a statement up on her twitter/myspace:

i wish it surprised me more to hear about people being attacked for things beyond their control. a person's skin colour, faith, sexual orientation, or nationality are not reasons for persecution- i would say that this is my personal belief- however, it shouldn't be up for discussion.

NO ONE should have to suffer any sort of attack, verbal or physical, for any reason. there are no excuses for violence- people say "well they're just ignorant or uneducated" - so what??? i don't know how to speak chinese, i haven't studied hinduism, i've never been to brazil, that doesn't mean that i feel that it's ok for me to hate what i don't understand, least of all resort to violence when challenged.

unfortunately people are killed, beaten and attacked daily for a number of ridiculously irrational reasons. it's frightening to me that when i hear a story about someone being beaten up i am not as shocked by it as I should be- purely due to the fact that these incidents, as horrifying as they may be, are not isolated.

it's 2009 people, why are we still fighting each other? the whole world is a damn mess and we're too busy hating to come together and change it. President Obama ran a campaign based on hope- not hope for any group of people in particular- hope for everyone. His message was embraced worldwide, so why can't we, here in the US, fight together instead of with one another? I'm not saying that everyone has to love everyone individually, i'm no hippie, but seriously people, no one should ever resort to violence. What if your sister, mother, brother or father were being pummeled for wearing a red sweater? would you stand by and do nothing? well, we are all someone's child, sibling, or friend! Open your eyes!

sorry to vent, but that picture above was taken after a girl was attacked at a party i dj'd in seattle, simply for being gay. it's disgusting.

sorry for rambling, but it makes me so sad that this sh*t happens today.

Update: Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on the police report ("the report says the woman tried to hit a bouncer") here.
