Attacked for the fifth time because a lesbian

The bloody face, the peeled knees, the frightened look: these are the images of Charlie Graham, a twenty year old girl from Sunderland in the North of England after being attacked for the fifth time, because she is a lesbian. The photos are on Facebook and Charlie's mother, Michelle Storey, has published them, because this time mother and daughter are determined to find those responsible.
The story rebounds in all the major British media that account for Charlie's testimony and his cry of pain: Sky News reported that she had been hit with a punch to the head and had been pushed to the ground. It happened in the early hours of Saturday, attacked by two men. "When I tried to get up - the girl explained - I was pushed back to the ground. I skinned my face, completely cut." And it's not the first time: "Last time stitches were needed for an eyebrow cut. Twice before the cuts were on the cheek, I had black eyes, I was screamed at things," said Charlie, "It is frightening and it is a blow to self-confidence." "I had panic attacks: just thinking of going out, thinking of having to go home, now scares me."
