Today the city of Columbus, OH, is turning pink. This special day is being supported by the Buckeye Region Anti-Violence Organization (BRAVO) in support of three gay men who were attacked last week in alleged hate crimes. One of the men, Christopher Kratavil, was wearing a pink shirt when he was attacked.

The event's Facebook page states that, "After seeing his blood stained pink shirt, the idea was formed to wear pink in a show of unity this Friday." The group is also hosting an evening fundraiser, featuring many of Columbus' favorite entertainers, with all proceeds going to BRAVO.
