Interesting News Item

I found this video clip on ABC News and it caught my eye. What happened was that two men were kidnapped, rather randomly, outside of a nightclub. When they were put into the trunk of a car one of the men had the idea to send a text message asking for help. As a result the two men were rescued. This, in and of itself, was really amazing quite frankly. What really got my attention though was that if you look at the image of the nightclub shown in the video and watch carefully as the camera pans, you see a rainbow flag... So my immediate question is, did the kidnappers know it was a gay nightclub? Many times I have heard of thieves and so forth going into the gay disctrict of a city because they identify gay men as stereotypically rich and defenseless. I know someone who nearly had such an experience in one gayborhood. I wonder if this was the case in this scenario. This is all assuming of course, that the two men are in fact gay. Just a thought.
