A woman has said she was attacked by five people at a fast food restaurant because she is a lesbian.
Sabrina Hooks, of Inglewood, Los Angeles, says she was verbally and physically abused by five people in a Jack in the Box restaurant.
She was with her girlfriend, identified as Morgan, at the restaurant on 29 October when she said a mixed group entered and began verbally abusing them.
“They said, you know, I’m a dyke and I’m gay and I had to keep my ‘hoe in check’ and just for no reason,” Hook told Eye Witness News.
Hooks then says the attack turned violent after Hooks says she tried to defend Morgan.

“It was like a horror movie, except I wasn’t watching it…I was in it,” she said.
“It’s not even about my sexuality, it’s about human decency.”
After being pushed and shoved, Hooks says she was punched and eventually ended up hospitalised with missing teeth.
