    I doubt it. But think on. These days a gay guy is likely to punch you back, twice as hard.

    "If i punch a gay guy, is it the same as hitting a female?"

    No, you're more likely to get one in return.

    "would the police give me the same charge?"

    Assault and battery. Neither the gender of the assailant nor victim are of importance to the charge.

    If the police are involved, your charge will be assault possibly with a hate crime attached (for either).

    Better make sure whomever you punch goes down in the first hit though, or you might be talking to the police from a hospital bed tough guy.

    The severity of an assault is not determined by which sex the victim is attracted to.

    However, it's going to be treated the same way by police regardless of the person's sexual orientation or whether they were a man or a woman. Unless, if course, it can be proven that you punched someone because they were a woman, or because they were homosexual - then it's a hate crime.

    Either way, you're assaulting another human being and will be charged for it.

    For the record, gay men are not women. Why on Earth would you think they are?

    Your sissified answer is Yes, the same as hitting a girl, tha SAME as hitting a 6'6" MMA star.

    Not all gays are limp wristed fairies, some can/will snap your neck like a pencil, not a minute too soon.

    Punching anyone will get you a charge. Why think that way you can get punch back .

    It's assault either way. Since men generally have more upper-body strength than women, when he punches you back, you're likely to be sorry.

    it depends what the gay guy is wearing.

    if he's in drag, it's almost like hitting a female.... only when "she" hits u back u r surely to feel it!

    u hit a woman but she punches back like a dude. then her drag friends will protect her and pounce on u too.

    Source(s): gut feeling.... ok i saw it on jerry springer.

    You be charged with assault either way!! But hitting a guy hitting a girl will always be worse then a guy hitting another guy..
