A 20-year-old lesbian was jumped last week in a brutal attack that left her covered in blood and bruises.

Charlie Graham was left shaken after two men battered her in the head from behind and threw her to the ground in an incident that has rippled the Sunderland, England, community she calls home.

Violence against LGBT+ folk have rocketed in the last five years in England and Wales, but Graham explained that this incident was the fifth time she has been targeted for her sexuality, the Daily Mirror reported.

What happened to Charlie Graham?

While on her way to meet a friend on Saturday morning, Graham was struck by two men around the Town End Farm.

“I got hit from behind by a fist to the back of my head, then I hit the ground, hurting my legs and face,” Graham said.

“I tried to get back up, but they pushed me back to the ground and the two guys ran off.

“I was left bleeding and scared.”

Graham was plagued by headaches and panic attacks since the attack. She remains haunted, however, being the fifth consecutive time she has been targeted for her sexuality.

In one previous assault, her eye was split open, requiring stitches.

In another, she was left suffering a black eye.

“D**e” was hurled at her by a passerby while she walked down a street with her fiends, before being punched in another incident.

This spectre of violence has left her terrified and trapped inside her home, believing she will be attacked again.

“It has knocked my confidence back,” Graham explained.

“I don’t go anywhere by myself anymore. I only feel comfortable at my mum’s house.

“I have panic attacks and anxiety attacks just thinking about going home in case they find out where I live and decide to come through the door, or I get attacked in my own home.

“I have had people threatening to come through my door and smash the windows in.”

Lesbian attacked five times has accepted homophobia as a part of her life.

“I think you should be able to be proud of who you are,” Graham said, describing how after repeated assaults, she has accepted homophobia as a fact of her life.

“It makes me feel I have got to stay in the house and hide who I am and everything but in this day and age I shouldn’t have to do that. It should be accepted.

“I’ve tried not to let it beat me up and get on with my life, but I do worry if it happens again that it is worse than it was before.

“It did scare me, but I thought ‘it’s just one of those things’.

“It’s happened again. What am I supposed to do about it?

“It happens everywhere. It’s my bad luck.

“I do look like a boy and I do act like a boy and there is no femininity about me at all. But I am not aggressive, or rowdy and I don’t pick fights.

“I have never opened my mouth to anybody.”

😔

To think that this is a society where people are "free" to express themselves; sad.

This happened recently 😔

While I am terribly sorry about her ordeal, I think she gave up her rights because she was naive. I always tell people to meet up someone they hook up with from any of those groups in a public place, preferably a fast food. And even at that, be on your toes. How can you wait for someone you have never met on the road in front of a bank? 

Reason I dislike those groups and I would never be caught dead in one.

Your points are very valid to be honest; where some "meet ups" may turn out fine, most others never really end well. These days, you'll even hear of police officers going through people's chats, etc... to try and blackmail them.

And also, people get in trouble because they are in a hurry to get laid. You meet someone online and 7days later you want a meet. Personally I wouldn't meet anyone in less than two months or even more. I like to take my time to communicate with whoever I am interested in, I like to get to chat and talk on phone with the person more, because by doing so, I can discern if the person is genuine or not(you can't totally know someone, but it helps)  If you become impatient with the wait to meet me, its either you don't have good intentions, or you were not meant for me. 

You see that thief blessing in the story? She wouldn't wait for 3months to scam someone. I can bet my lunch on that.
