La Crosse Mayor Mitch Reynolds is already condemning the alleged attack, and now more politicians and local pride leaders are calling for awareness, and action.
“I think it’s ridiculous that our hate crimes bill isn’t inclusive of the entire LGBT community,” said Will Van Roosenbeek, director of the UW-La Crosse Pride Center.

According to the criminal complaint, Crawford uttered gay slurs at a transgender boy and girl and accused them of having sex. The teens asked Crawford to leave them alone. Instead, Crawford responded by punching the boy in the face.
