An interracial married couple says they were attacked outside a bar in Queens early Saturday, and that their attackers used racial and phobic slurs.
Billie and Jacob James-Vogel say they and a gay friend had been celebrating Billie James-Vogel's 40th birthday in Long Island City and were attacked when they left the bar.
They say three men began hurling phobic and racist slurs at their group before physically assaulting them.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the argument began when one of the men kissed Billie James-Vogel, and words were exchanged between the husband and that man.
Jacob James-Vogel suffered a black eye and a head injury; his wife had a broken toe and other bruises.
Kelly said one person had been arrested, and police were still investigating.
"We're still looking at it as a possible hate crime," Kelly said.
Billie James-Vogel said she fears her attackers might return.
"In this day and age, in this neighborhood, it just kills me," she said of the racial slurs.
Last week, a gay couple was assaulted after leaving a movie theater in Chelsea, and that attack followed a series of anti-gay attacks in the spring, including the fatal shooting of a man in Greenwich Village.

Interracial AND gay?
C'mon, Trill. They were pretty much axin' for it.
interbreeding with blacks is unnacceptable

probably staged, Bloomberg working the angles.
Black eye and broken toe, I'm outraged
Was that really all the damage?
Yet somehow this belongs in the same category as beating a WWII vet to death
