Shameless right-wing lies

After the horrific assault on LGBT activists last week, right-wing media perpetuated the lie that the thugs were provoked by a crucifix being broken and burned. THIS WAS A LIE TO EXCUSE CHRISTOFASCIST VIOLENCE AGAINST PEACEFUL PROTESTORS.

The Daily Telegraph should be ashamed for perpetuating a flimsy hoax justifying a gay-bashing on our streets!
