What the hell is going on?

Last week on September 8, another gay man in Canada was viciously attacked. This attack occurred in London, Ontario, about 100 miles northwest of Thunder Bay where Jake Raynard was recently the victim of a savage gay-bashing, Brandon Wright was apparently kidnapped and beaten:

Brandon Wright, an event manager and modelling agent, says a man who called himself Alex approached him online via instant messenger. The man told Wright he was an aspiring model looking for work. Wright arranged to meet Alex near a variety store on Kipps Ln near Adelaide St in London.

After meeting, Wright told the man that he wouldn’t be able to help him find a modelling job.
The man then told Wright that he wanted to show him something in his truck. When Wright climbed into the passenger side he says the man said, “Because you’re gay you need to be punished. I’m going to fucking kill you and you’re a faggot.”

The man then drove off with Wright still in the passenger seat.

“He started hitting me with a big, black, heavy object,” says Wright. “He kept repeating, ‘I’m going to fucking kill you faggot.‘”

Wright says the attack continued even while the man was driving. Wright jumped out of the moving truck to escape.

“I honestly believed that if I didn’t get out of the vehicle I would have died,” says Wright.

A group of people helped Wright, and he was taken to a local hospital. He suffered a dislocated shoulder, deep gashes to his scalp and check, ruptured blood vessels in his left eye and severe bruising on his left side.

Anyone with information on the attack against Wright is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers in London at 519-661-8477.
