Three Santa Fe, N.M., men have been accused of beating a gay man unconscious while yelling antigay slurs. James Maestas, 21, of Santa Fe remained hospitalized Tuesday, but hospital officials would not release information about his condition at his family's request. A second man, Joshua Stockham, 24, of Albuquerque was treated for minor injuries and released.
Gabriel Maturin, 20, and Isaia Medina, 19, face charges of aggravated battery, conspiracy, and battery. David Trinidad, 17, whose case is in children's court, faces similar charges plus a count of criminal damage to property, Assistant District Attorney Heidi Pircher said. Trinidad currently is on probation for raping a 4 1/2-year-old boy, she said.

Just in case you missed it:
Trinidad currently is on probation for raping a 4 1/2-year-old boyGee, it makes me wonder if the words "child molester" were among the anti-gay slurs Trinidad and his pals were yelling when they beat up the gay couple.
:shrug: Even if the phrase was in the bashers' vocabulary, it's doubtful they would know the definition of "irony."
