ISSUES: Accused Stonewall Attacker Refuses To Apologize!

Matthew Francis, one of the men accused of attacking Ben Carver, (pictured) at the Stonewall Inn last week, refuses to apologize for his alleged actions, because he has no regrets, according to Towleroad.

"I'm not going to say sorry, because I don't know what I should be sorry for," said Francis, who also insisted he's not a homophobe. "I don't hate gay people. I don't hate anybody."

And, not surprisingly, Carver's astonished by Francis' latest remark: "I'm very surprised to hear that. [Francis] was the one who was hitting me, and then the other young man was the one who pinned me."
