The 3 boys jumped out of the car. One of them called out loudly, “Hey, are you guys gay?” Charlie Howard and Roy Ogden ran across State Street. The boys pursued them. Howard tripped and fell. They kicked him, grabbed him and threw him over the bridge railing into the Kenduskeag Stream, about 15 feet below. Howard shouted for help. He reportedly had told his attackers he could not swim. As the boys pulled away in their car, laughing, Howard was struggling to breathe and to stay afloat in the stream. Ogden ran and pulled a nearby fire alarm. That was 30 years ago. Bangor, and Maine, have changed, and gay rights advocates say Howards death was a big part of that change.
