VIDEO: Teen lesbian brutally beaten by men yelling anti-gay slurs

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A Louisville, Kentucky teen is recovering at home after being injured in an attack by a group of adults.

Her family believes she's a victim of a hate crime.

The girl, who suffered several injuries including a broken jaw, was with two younger boys when the attack happened.

They said the adults yelled anti-gay slurs at the girl before she was beaten.

"Her jaw is broken in several places and she has to have a plate put in her jaw," said family friend Brenda Hickerson. "She has teeth knocked out of her mouth and she has scrapes and bruises."

In Kentucky, Louisville's only lesbian bar to close after New Year's Eve party

After several lives over the years, Tink's Pub, a local lesbian bar, will once again close its doors after one last hooray on New Year's Eve.

The current incarnation, located at 2235 S. Preston, has been a central Louisville staple for ten years. The bar, which boasts that every night is ladies' night, has provided a great gathering space for ladies (and lots of men too) to shoot pool, play music in the jukebox, play video poker, throw darts, and sing karaoke. It also offered the occasional drag king show.
