A young gay man was left with two black eyes and multiple stitches after a beating at the West Village McDonald's that cops are investigating as a hate crime.

The confrontation started in the fast-food restaurant and spilled out onto Sixth Ave. early Sunday, where Damian Furtch, 26, says he was set upon.

Furtch posted pictures of his injuries on Facebook and blunt words about his ordeal.

"I thought I was safe in the city I loved but apparently wearing fluorescent colored clothing and pink shoelaces really bother some f-----g a--holes to blind side me and hit me," the victim wrote.
