About 50 to 100 students at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater gathered Oct. 15 to protest an incident last month in which a woman was punched in the face while wearing a T-shirt that said “Legalize gay.”
The victim is a UW-Whitewater student. Campus police said she was approached by two men she didn’t know while walking down a street. She said one used a homophobic slur and punched her, bruising her face.
Police released profiles of the two suspects shortly after the alleged attack but no arrests have been made.
University spokeswoman Mary Beth Mackin says the attack “shocked” the campus. She says that’s not what UW-Whitewater is about.
