Kady Grass, a lesbian, reported being assaulted at a McDonald's in Carpentersville, Illinois, after allegedly being targeted with homophobic slurs. Following the verbal abuse, she was physically attacked, resulting in unconsciousness and facial injuries, including a broken nose. A 19-year-old named John Kammrad faces aggravated battery and mob action charges, while police are considering hate crime charges. Grass expressed her shock at the motivations behind the attack, highlighting the ongoing issue of homophobia. The story calls attention to the need for reporting hate crimes and the support available for victims.
"It blew my mind that this happened and it's all because I like girls instead of men," Grass said.
Grass, who was with her younger cousin, claimed she was called the homophobic f-slur by the attackers, which upset her.
