NEW YORK (AP) ? A spate of anti-gay attacks in New York City is prompting police to increase their presence in some gay-friendly neighborhoods heading into what's usually a time for celebration.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said Monday that the NYPD has pledged to station command vehicles in Greenwich Village, Chelsea and Hell's Kitchen through the end of June, which is Gay Pride Month.
The decision comes after a man walking with a companion was shot dead Saturday. Police say the gunman made homophobic remarks.
The killing happened in Greenwich Village, where the gay rights movement crystallized in the 1960s.
Several other gay bashings have been reported in Manhattan recently.
Quinn and Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott also say public schools will soon have assemblies or other discussions on bullying and hate crimes.
