Attacks on gays

January 27, 2014

The latest victim - Randy Gener (pronounced "jen-air"), a respected and openly gay journalist who was found unconscious, in a pool of his own blood, in the Times Square area last week. He is now recovering from brain surgery, but his attack has once again focused attention on bias crimes against gays.

We broke this story on Saturday night, and tonight, a vigil for Gener at the Phillip Center in midtown Manhattan. We'll be there, at 11.

Also at 11, why would parents be opposed to getting their kids randomly drug tested if officials said their school was in the middle of a drug epidemic? We're asking some parents that question tonight in New Jersey, where one school board will vote on whether to require some students to submit to random drug tests.

We'll also have any breaking news of the night, plus Meteorologist Lee Goldberg's AccuWeather forecast, and Rob Powers with the night's sports. I hope you can join Sade Baderinwa, tonight at 11.
