Quash Denied! The three defendants in the  Philly gay bashing trial tried to quash all the charges today, claiming they did not conspire and did not do serious bodily harm to both victims. Thankfully the DA has a genius attorney on this one! Great hearing this morning and the trial is moving forward with ALL CHARGES. (Please keep your comments respectful and hate free!) Love you boys! Keep your smiles and your spirits bright! #HateFree #GayIsOK #NotNiceToThrowHaymakersAndDirtyNames

Caryn tells me that physically the boys have recovered, but emotionally they are scarred as you can imagine. Large groups of people make them timid, and it’s very emotional to hear the story of their attack retold in court. Also in attendance were Zach and Andy’s parents as well as the three defendants, their parents and a legion of attorneys.

There’s a plea hearing scheduled for next Thursday.
