Nathaniel Mims, 25, and Rasheed Thomas, 22, allegedly screamed anti-gay slurs and threatened to cut the woman's throat Wednesday night in St. Albans.
They face charges of assault as a hate crime, menacing and harassment.
"I didn't know you could get locked up for calling somebody names," Thomas said after his arrest, according to prosecutors.
