Lynsey Cain tells of attack on her and her girlfriend

A Blyth, England, lesbian couple is living in fear after being attacked in a local pub. Lynsey Cain, 27, and Donna Smith, 24, believe they were singled out because they are gay. At least that's what the people beating them said. Cain says a woman in the bar hit Smith. "This girl just punched Donna in the back of the head for no reason whatsoever. I went over and asked what it was all about and the next thing I knew was this lad coming over, grabbing me by my head and dragging me from one side of the pub to the other. He shoved my head through a window. ... It was like a massacre. There was blood all over my hands and arms and my T-shirt." Cain says she's been going to pubs since she was 17 but doubts she will again. A man and two woman face charges in the attack. icNewcastle
