Matthew Francis is being
held on $10,000 bond after his arraignment Monday on hate crime assault and other charges. A co-defendant is awaiting arraignment.
Prosecutes say on Sunday Francis told the victim he didn't like gay people and used an anti-gay slur. They say he punched the victim in a restroom at the bar.
