I am utterly appalled to hear about this. I am a mother with 9 kids including stepkids, foster kids and my nephew.
I have always encouraged my kids to express themselves. My birth daughter is bi, one of my foster kids wears cats ears everywhere, my youngest birth son likes to cross dress as does my eldest stepson. In fact they all dress "outside the norm".
Your post frightens me because it could happen to anyone and as a parent who encourages her kids to be themselves it worries me to know that the world at large does not want them to be.
I am so glad you weren't injured more seriously, the gods, goddesses or whomever you have faith in have smiled upon you, it could have been worse, you are fortunate they didn't kill you.
I am posting about this in my LJ. I hope they catch the bastards who did this to you.
