- <p> The January beating of a homosexual man by three Marines at a
- North Carolina bar patronized by gays drew national attention,
- occurring soon after President Clinton's call for the open
- admission of gays into the armed forces. Last week the Marines
- were acquitted. A judge ruled that the prosecution had not made
- its case, notwithstanding the admission by one defendant that
- he had yelled, "I don't want nothing to do with you faggots!"--in response, the Marine insisted, to taunting by gays in the
- bar. According to the defense, the brutalized gay man willingly
- joined the brawl.
