<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.
