And a New York woman has filed a civil rights lawsuit against the New York Police Department over a beating at a lesbian party last year. Tiffany Jimenez says officers yelling homophobic slurs assaulted her and another lesbian of color outside a Brooklyn bar in May 2009. In a statement, Jimenez said, “This lawsuit can’t take away the violence I suffered, and it won’t give me back the months that it’s taken to recover. Yet I hope it will help make the NYPD think twice before violating the rights of LGBT people of color.”
