One of the men did come over and apologize to his friend at that point, he said. But when the crowd began leaving the club an hour later, at least two of the men began using homophobic slurs against Conor Kennedys friend again and he told them to stop, Robert Kennedy said.
Police spoke to Robert Kennedy and Conor Kennedy later Thursday about the incident, Linn said. However, no one has contacted Aspen police claiming to have been menaced or threatened for being gay, he said.
Matt Ferguson, Conor Kennedys lawyer in Aspen, released a statement Thursday saying multiple witnesses to the incident have reported that two men assaulted Conor Kennedy after he rebuked them for directing a homophobic slur and threats to his close friend.
