Transgender Woman Killed - Faith Wangermann

Jacey Fortin wrote in an article published by the New York Times on May 19 about Muhlaysia Booker, a transgender woman who was attacked in a Dallas parking lot in April. She was shot and killed on Sunday. The video of the attack from last month gained public attention, so her murder has sparked further outraged. This event is concerning to me because it took place in Dallas, and it is undeniably a hate crime. This goes against all the rights fought for in the 60s and 70s with the LGBT rights movement and an indirect result of the Stonewall Riots.

    It is so scary to think that these things still happen today. I really wish that people could be who they are without hate crimes like this being a consequence.

    It's truly distrubing that after all these years of pain, tears, and blood in the battles fought for rights and a persons hummanity for it simply to bring us back to square one by one incident. What were all those years for if we would till be going through things of this nature today?
