Back in June we told you about a brutal hate-crime attack against a transgender man inside a restroom on the campus of Houston Community College. Lance Reyna, a student-activist who's both transgender and gay, was washing his hands when his attacker emerged from a stall and put a knife to his throat saying, "Hey queer, I need you to be quiet, cooperate, and give me all your valuables." Reyna was knocked to the floor and beaten and kicked. His wallet and credit cards were taken. Terrance Calhoun, 22, was later arrested on campus and charged with aggravated robbery in the attack that occurred during Houston's gay Pride week. But those charges have apparently been reduced to simple battery, and it looks like Calhoun has been released from jail.
Errr. He should never be released.
