  • People argue all the time about men choosing to be gay about women choosing to be lesbian, So if it's true and maybe it is, would those people protest against if it were there child. If there child got beat to death for being transgender would they hold those signs up

  • You must not have been watching. These kinds of people don't care about what the situation is. As long as their views don't go unheard they are truly happy.

  • Is this a fucking joke? Their kid dies and people are doing anti- gay protests?

  • @Bgirl291 It's the Westboro cult, led by Fred Phelps. What do you expect? Hatred is all they know. And members of the LGBT community are not their only targets. They hate everyone who does not support their agenda. As a Christian, I'm disgusted by the very idea that Phelps and his cult members would be so presumptuous as to claim that they are Christians. Believe me! They're not. Jesus would never endorse what they are doing.

  • @Chocobear555 I'll never understand this kind of hatred there are so many cruel thoughtless people in this world how could anyone have so much disdain for a kind person?

  • I WOULD DEFINITELY BE ON GWEN'S SIDE!!

  • I found it funny when the guy wanted to hand the bible over for the family to read. Saying transgender is a crime, I honestly wonder how would they answer to the situation where people were born with vague genitalia. It is just all hate crime and ignorant that people were brainwashed with.

  • I hate both sides of the protesters, they should have let the family mourn in peace, not making it into a gay pride event or a hate campaign

  • @kesla15

    The other side of the protestors were there only because the hateful ones were. It was good to have a show of support.

  • @loner1878 They could have supported the family without making a scene!

  • @Chocobear555

    How so? Please enlighten us.

  • If God does exist, then these people are such an embarrassment to him by protesting that poor girl's funeral.

  • GWEN WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED AND REMEBERD FOREVER R.I.P GWEN WE LUV U

  • Why do people always bring religion into it? God made Gwen, they don't realize that??????

  • @brownie8757 : no god made EDDIE...eddie made himself into a girl

  • @knowatimean no god made a girl with a boys body

  • @chrisgonzo9

    Because there is no god.

  • @loner1878 Prove it. You posted your statement as though your belief is based on fact. Now, prove it.

  • @Chocobear555

    Wrong. The original commenter implied god may exist. I simply rejected it. A person who rejects an assertion does not need to provide any justification for it. The evidence has to be provided by the party making the assertion. The person rejecting the assertion needs to provide nothing at all. A person made a statement with a claim, which I rejected according to my opinion. The person I replied to has the burden of proof.

    Why don't you go prove your belief?

  • @knowatimean God gives everyone a challenge in life, Gwen's challenge was being who she wanted to be.

  • @kesla15

    Oh bull. God by that argument is a sadistic asshole.

  • Comment removed

  • where was the hearse? there were only three limousines in the procession.

  • Add: Thanks goodness I'm really an atheist. 

  • That's the reason churches should be demolish. They bring nothing but ignorances in general and all their teachings are BS. If it weren't for that, I bet there would be more understandable people. You don't kill someone just because they're different. There is transgendered woman working in my job and he (she) brings no trouble.

  • @Mademoiselle87cakes In case you didn't notice there were plenty of signs which read "God Loves Gwen" Religion doesn't make people cruel, people make people cruel. I know plenty of ignorant, hateful atheists and plenty of ignorant, hateful religious people. I may not know all religions, but I know my faith says very clearly that hate and violence is wrong, and that shoving your opinions down the throat of another is wrong. It was people who warped the message of God into a cesspool of hate.

  • @mariac0853 The sad part is is most of the people who protested would probably not like the WBC at all. Most of them would probably give excuses for how this is different. My simple response would be "And how is this any better than what they do?"

  • those people remind me of the westboro baptist church

  • @Chaaarge Some of the shirts and signs are exactly who that is based off of. They did threaten to protest this funeral, but they didn't show up for unknown reasons.

  • When will people learn she is a girl. She diserved a peacful funreal. How would they like it if they had a loved ones funreal disgraced. God bless gwen and her family.

  • @agentgore99 I don't know about a "funreal", but I certainly believe that this poor girl's funeral should have been left alone. She suffered enough in life :-((((

  • Those motorcyclists remind me of the Patriot Guard Riders

  • Her casket should have been closed! She is not a moral person nor is a she! He she whatever she or it was, was nothing right! Murder was not right to do, but he she should have lived the way God wanted him/her too.....was gross and upsetting!!

  • @eguth2008 You're a sick person

  • How can someone stand in front of a funeral service and fucking protest hateful words? Why? because she was trans? She got murdered because of that. That's not funny. Not at all. She was 17. She didn't get to live her life, because she wasn't afraid to be who she was, because of ignorance. Gwen was a beautiful women. She did not deserve this. She could of had a beautiful life. And because of ignorance, she got that tooken away. Wow. R.I.P. Gwen! You will always be remembered for your heart! <3

  • I think whoever killed her should be killed she is who she is and that is f'ed up for being so mean to her I'm 13 and I know that if you dis like this then you are a bad person if you like this you are true and good!

  • ...they are probably swimming in their own!!! Like it says in the Book of Matthew, don't be so quick to judge the speck in your brother's eye, but take the plank out of your own! No one has the right to judge anyomne, for we have all sinned at one part of our lifetime and are in need of God's everlasting grace, mercy, and most important...love!!! God loves all...end of story!!!

  • 0:02, I will say this, and Im going to be specific, GOD DOESN'T HATE ANY OF HIS CREATIONS!!!! We are all of His children and He may hate our sin, but it is IMPOSSIBLE for Him to hate us. He knew exactly how we were going to turn out before we graced our mother's womb. And if He felt we were going to be that much of a mistake, He wouldn't have created us. The Bible says homosexuality is a sin, but hate is a sin also. People are so quick to judge someone elses sin, when in reality....

  • Damn, that's one ASSHOLE crowd.

  • just because someone is differant does'nt make them bad

  • @richiesgurl4life You're absolutely right

  • Wow. People actually want to write hateful things on a sign and yell and scream at the family grieving?? They lost someone they loved and they want to shout hateful things to sorrowful faces? What kind of humanity is that??

  • what's the name of the music at 3:46

  • I cried when the biker showed up. Love comes from unexpected places.

  • Imagine being the guy who had the job of writing all those signs for the film. Damn depressing.

  • Unfortunately it's our culture to be hung up on things like race, class and sexuality. Gwen was a beautiful person who didn't care about anything but expressing who she was.

  • Guy below me STFU already!!!!!!! Jeez go Fk yourself

  • I thought that was sooo awesome how that biker gang came to pay respect for gwen I wonder if that really happened cause alot of times they tend add on fictional stuff just to fill in a gap... but if that was true WOW Im amazed. gwen was a great person and didn't deserve what happened to her!

  • What I don't understand about them is how come they are not sent out of America, I know I would except the children, they can be saved but the grown ups old or young they can be sent away.

  • God comes first in my life. What I discovered, nothing on this earth can compare. I have changed. Now, I understand, all people have value, all races, cultures, genders, sexualities,etc. I did not know this until I found God. I wish, as Christian, we would embrace the truth and understand that we are perfect as God made us, Gay, Straight, Bi, Trans, Les, etc. and pointing the finger and judging is based upon personal insecurities, false egos, etc.

  • What makes me really sad is how those people can sit there and surround the house. I mean, a parent had their little girl wearing a shirt saying 'God hates you'. Last time I checked, God is suppose to love everyone, no matter how bad the sin b.c. there is always forgiveness. And for crying out loud, the family just lost their son/daughter. Show some respect.

  • I have a diffrence of opinion about this but i would never herass a family like that.

  • Those people need to stfu. there are many christians that i know, that are gay, and are very religious. i dont ever think that God would hate anyone

  • I want everyone to know that a real christian would never have a sign and yelling and judging them .

    Where is the compassion ?

    Where is the love ?

  • @twychang I like how you don't really like the subject of this movie yet you've watched it all and continue to comment. I think someone needs a hug :) Are you confused darling?

  • @twychang First of all, the same situation happening to you doesn't make the idea any better. It's just plain mean. In my eyes, it would be okay to insult him. That you can get away with. And just tell his parents they need to talk to their transgendered child and that their ideas of doing what they did is sick. Regardless, it's still not okay to beat someone up just because they lied to you and had sexual contact with you. You don't see rape victims beating the shit out of their attackers.

  • @twychang It was only oral sex. And it's the defendants' fault that they can't control their temper when Gwen lied. Two wrongs doesn't equal a right. You just don't kill someone unless it's self defense and in the defendants' situation it wasn't. Regardless, murder is a much more serious crime than rape.

  • @twychang It's not like Gwen was going to attack them and try to rape them. Those guys attacked first. She wasn't doing anything wrong. I'm a girl, and I have a friend who told me one day she had a crush on me an several other girls at school. I was freaked out but did I kill her? No, I just told her she was confused and needed help. She wasn't trying to hurt me physically, maybe emotionally, but it wasn't intentionally and that's something that a person can get over.

  • @twychang

    You're that scared of a transgender person you would call it self defense? LOL, self defense for what, your fragile macho ego? Look, I would be pissed if someone lied to me about something big like that, I might punch them in the face, but murder is out of the question.

  • @twychang Why are you replying to each part of the movie with the same comment? In any case, I disagree with you. Earlier in the movie, the doctor who was being questioned said that you should not reveal a medical condition to someone unless it's a threat to their health. Gwen shouldn't be punished for telling them she was biologically male, hell the doctor didn't say she was once biologically male until she was questioned. Murder is still murder, regardless of the reasons.

  • If it were legal, I would've shot some of the protestors.

  • Since when being yourself was a sin??!!??!

  • I saw this movie on Lifetime the other day. It touched my heart. God loves all of his children no matter what. she didn't murder anyone! She seemed like she was a very sweet person portrayed by J.D. Pardo.. Sleep well Gwen, with the angels. It has been years w/o her, I hope her family has found peace somehow. <3

  • You're an abomination for pulling that shit when a family has just lost a loved one. You, the protesters, are the ones who should be ashamed. Gwen is guilty of nothing except being herself. Fuck, when will we stop hating and killing each other???

  • this is so horrible it made me cry rest in peace gwen...

  • I can totally understand why some would feel angry, but at the end of the day God made Gwen, and GOd loves ALL of his creations. We may not understand how or why, but we cannot question God. This movie touched something deep inside of me,and it's obvious how much Gwen was loved, how she brought happiness to those around her. Only God giveth life and only he can take it away. When we start to decide how can live and how - where and when would we be able to draw the line?

  • Comment removed

  • tumbs up 4 the bikers

  • what is so wrong for wanting to live ur life as the person u feel u are, if gwen felt like she was a female no one has the right to tell her not to and she not a pervert

    rip gwen these nasty idiots cant hurt u ever again, and its all probably because u were nicer looking than any of them. if u were my friend i would never judge u. xxx rip gwen xxx

  • it was a logical ending of the miserable pervert.

  • it's disgusting how many ignorant close minded fucks there is Being transgender is a blessing not a curse nor an abomination.

  • I love the motorcyclists, that made this scene more bearable for me.

    It's so sweet to know that even with all of those protesters, there are a few really badass dudes willing to back up a family in a horrible crisis.

  • It will get better.

  • there were people protesting against this? fucking cunts

  • They had a LITTLE GIRL in a shirt like that? That's absolutely ridiculous.

  • @mngmama17 have you seen the west burrow baptist church protests ? its not ridiculous its realistic.. sadly

  • Such a sad funeral.

  • this film always makes me cry. why can't people just mind their own business and let people be who they are. god bless gwen and her family...such a beautiful soul. god loves us all

  • GOD DON'T HATE GOD IS LOVE MERCIFUL READ THE BIBLE JESUS FORGAVE THE PROSTITUTE HUNG AROUND WITH THIEVES WITH THE WORST PPL IF HE DOESN'T JUDGE WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE?

  • @Renoslowmotion you are sick.you shall keep your mouth shut and seek some medical help.. How can you live ?Your parents must be really proud of you:)))

  • @residentdimon My parents are proud of me and so is god because i have a beautiful wife that loves and supports me, I have a house where i pay the morgage and a job that helps me do eeverything i want . So yes they are proud. Medical help no i don't need it but you i believe does. Because all you have to say about anyone is something negative which means there is something wrong with you because you really don't like who you are. See bashing remarks dnt bother me anymore because im happy

  • @Renoslowmotion what is that noise? is that you bitching that my logic threatens that disorder between your ears;)))

  • it's sad that people confuse their prejudice with what's actually in the bible.

  • That biker guy was kickass.

  • Wauw.. these videos are refreshing! they truly do remind you that we're all equal and that we do deserve to be treated right despite our sexual orientation or whatever problem we have! I think this GIRL(yes, GIRL) was a very very good example to all those who were just like her. RIP Gwen, the world will remember you for a long long time, along with Brandon Teena!(Rip for him too)

  • I can't wait until God slaps those stupid homophobes in the face

  • @damian32694 NOOOO god doesnt slap them.........he pisses on them and then sends them to hell with all the other homophobes silly. ^_^

  • The story of one girls life shook this Nation. I hate that a death of someone who is Transgendered has to happen to get people to undestand us. No one else should have to die for the rights of Transgenders.

  • fuck all those ppl protestin and fuck everyone else that thinks that way im a transexual and just like gwen im an angel

  • when they got in the car to go the funeral, they should have run down all those ugly, dumb protesting scum.

  • I am shocked at the level of insensitivity and disrepect shown during her funeral - and her life.

    I do think that what she did was wrong though. Whilst she had every right to live her life how she wanted to, and to not be judged for it, she had no right to deceive these guys with whom she entered into sexual relations with.

    I would feel violated and extremely angry. However whatever she did, it did not warrant murder and everyone involved, no matter how deeply, should pay for thier evil actions.

  • "cockersgirl: I agree with you.

  • @cockersgirl

    I wish some people would be like you and just say they think it's wrong instead of saying faggot and things like that.

  • @cockersgirl bitch what do you feel like she was wrong at she was not wrong she was beat to death

  • aww thats so sweet that the bikers offered to ride with the limo :)

  • this is just so sad :(

  • octavia st laurant was singing in this segment and she also passed last year they are both loved

    rip trans angels

  • it is very unfortunate that our legal systems, religions, and cultures are being used to justify, glorify, and sanctify the violent expressions towards transgendered people

  • if God hated these people.. if he hated us, we wouldn't have been here alive and well for centurys.

    God loves everybody.. it's only people who hate.

  • God does love us but he hates sin why do u think he created a heaven & a hell Bible makes it clear that many will go 2 hell but few will enter paradise. There will be no homosexuals idol worshipers thieves aldutors drunks liars fornicators in heaven . Narrow is the path to heaven that few choose broad is the way that leads to destruction. It is foolish to say God loves everyone so no one is going to hell that is NOT what the Bible teaches. U should actually try reading the Bible

  • rofl there will be plenty of those.

    You realize Jesus died on the cross for our sins?

    By accepting him into your heart he forgives all of your sins. All of the things you listed: "homosexuals idol worshipers thieves aldutors drunks liars fornicators" CAN go to heaven and will. Like the last one, everyone lies some place or another. It doesn't mean we're instantly going to hell. Accepting Jesus into your heart forgives that and every other sin. A sin is a sin. There isn't any different. Idiot.

  • @Jerseygirl8999,

    Denying people their rights because of a hardcover book?

    How pathetic are you?

    You want to say the bible justifies the way those protestors were acting?

    Well, I'm very glad I don't follow the bible as a moral code because it also says you can sell your daughters into slavery and rape your enemy's wife!

  • @jyoungrules

    How do you know what god hates, are you god? Do you personally know god? No I didn't think so now shut up you little bastard.

  • I wish the biker guy would've beat up the guy who was offering the mother the bible.

  • I am a conservative Christian, looking to be a preacher. These jerks, with their NO HE/SHE signs and GOD HATES FAGS t-shirts, just make my job more difficult.

  • Im a Christian too man, people like that do make us Christians look bad...im really tired of that

  • @jerseygirl8999, i reallly dont see how you got 4 thumbs down. I totally agree with you. God made each person specially. and i think its wrong to change what he made you. ex. man changes into woman. and i like the way you worded the last 2 lines.

  • @brokencollarbone10 This isn't a man who changed into a woman. this is a WOMAN who changed HER sex to match HER gender.

    Transsexualism is just another type of hermaphroditism.

    there are hermaphrodites with female genitals and male chromosomes. There are some with both genitalia.

    THIS person has male genitalia but the part of the brain is saying that she is female. Don't dare ever judge someone when you do not know what it's like. and that "i like the way you worded..." quote was fucking sick!

  • @Jerseygirl8999 having a medical condition like being transgendered is not a sin. so you don't have to worry. there shouldn't have been anyone saying anything relating to sin, because it's not.

  • @DaFawky The quote i was referring to was "Jesus taught compassion but at the same time he spoke truths about sin which leads to hell and destruction". And how am i judging her? God made him/her that way for a reason

  • @brokencollarbone10 ok but sin has nothin to do with this but i agree with you cuz God did make her like that for a reason. She was put in a male body and now her purpose was fulfilled by representing the trans community so people can try to understand trans people more without judging them without knowing anything about them.

  • @Jerseygirl8999

    God made her like that for a reason and it's to teach people to be compassionate.

  • @gentedelquintosol12 I agree with you and you will be a great preacher cause those who show hate are false Christians .

  • @twisted2damax

    True but they are still evil.

  • What's the point of those protestors? She's already dead, what more could you do to ruin her family's lives? They act like making signs and protesting will change Gwen's family's view on her, but OF COURSE IT WON'T. They're stupid, it's not any of their business, Gwen was a great person and she didn't hurt anyone - so why continue the hate even after she passed on?

    RIP GWEN. You're a perfect role model to anyone struggling with the same stuff as you did.

  • @asdfghjklovely

    I agree and their family lost their child and they have the nerve to protest like they expect her family to just forget their daughter because she was trans-gender

  • No YOU are an abomination.. faken bible bashing assholes. Who the fak do they think made Gwen anyway??!? She was made by the same God they believe in! Who are they to judge.

  • homophobic motherfuckers and thoes who killed gwen derserve to be dead...

  • I personally don't care for homosexuality or transgenders but who am I to judge?

    "He who is without sin shall cast the first stone" is also in the bible and I live by it.

    Lastly, if this is such an evil thing then I will let God judge it after death.

  • This movie is so sad got tears in my eyes

    Dam those people talking bout heres a bible, well they need one for them self cuz i believe in the bilble it say "Do to others as you would have them do to you"

    Ps. that girl with the curly hair that made them boys do that to gwen is a sick ugly jealous envy hater

    RiiP Gwen Araujo

  • Those people on the street fricken piss me off. I mean though they don't agree with it they could have had a little more respect for the family I mean their granddaugher, daughter, friend and sister were just married, all those people should have been arrested. I loved the people who came out for gwen though i know that if i had lived around there and was older and i would have been out there in support of the family and for Gwen.

  • and also instead of those signs that says "god loves gwen" they shulda also had a sign saying "god MADE gwen"

  • God loves us all

    we are al made in an image of him

  • or Her

  • this part make me cry 3:43

  • Forgive me God, BUT THOSE KIDS DESSERVE TO ROT IN HELL. HOW COULD THEY EVEN THINK OF WINNING A CASE. THOSE PREJUDES JERKS DONT DESSERVE TO BREATHE ONE BREATHE OF FREEDOM GWEN ARAUJO WAS A BEAUTIFUL GIRL. SHE CHOSE TO BE ONE AND SHE WAS IN NO WAY WRONG. TRANSGENDER PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE TOO FOR GOD'S SAKE!

  • Exactly What they got was fair and just

  • In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.... And I'm no theologian, but I'm pretty sure the word WAS NOT HATE!

  • God loves everyone.

  • i can't believe people would do such a thing...

  • disgusting the way those four guys abused and killed her, worse still when the Westboro Baptist Church did thier picket rally, but two thumbs up to the Bikers who protected and those counter-protestors at the cemetery who made a stand for her

    PS Are those Bikers "The Freedom Riders" who also accompanied friends and family of dead U.S. soldiers who were also picketed by the disgusting WBC

  • It's possible. Even if they weren't directly connected with "The Freedom Riders" they are wonderful people. The Westboro Baptist Church makes me ill. Believe me when I say that not all Christians are like them. They do not deserve to be called a church, they are a sick, deviant cult!

  • The guys on the motorcycles were so great to Gwen's family. Wonderful people. God bless them and Gwen.

  • Is that the wesboro baptist church by any chance because they did the same at matthew sheperds funeral?

  • Yup.

  • Rather it was an abomination or not, Gwen or any other GLBT, if thats the right term to use, in a million years did not deserve to be judged or murdered. She was a beautiful young lady wanted to make something of her life but came to an untimely end due to some real fag(s).

  • she didnt deserve what happened to her

  • whats the diffrence between lgbt and bglt if there is one because ive always been a little confused

  • its the same. Just the acronym spelled differently.

  • It just breaks my heart to such a beautiful person to have been on this earth, may god keep you, Gwen!

  • God bless gwen SHE is beatiful, may her soul rest in heaven where her soul will be seen for what it is, pure, untainted.

  • How could anyone say that God is against transgenderals or even gays?

    Do they not know? Have they not heard?

    God looks into the heart.

    Though they may say that it says that a man should not wear woman's clothing,

    If that was a statement from God, then God would be referring to that person's heart when he said "man" or "woman", not to their physical body. Thus, a transgender MtF would be a woman in the eyes of God.

  • So true, I actually found biblical proof that transgendered people NOT abominations in the eyes of god, I know god dosn't hate gays as well, and im trying to, but I have yet to find proof, but god made us all the way we are, he is alright with us changing out bodys, which are carnal in nature, our souls are what will live on forever, 'if thine eyes offend thee pluck them out' Mathew 18:9 :)

  • Look at it this way, God gave trans people doctors who can help them get the bodies they want. As for gays, the only thing I consider an abomination is pedophiles and rapists.

  • same here, that is the devil's influence, they just need to learn to control it, unless its driving them insane and then the only thing to do is find another output for it or medication, and i admit it i am transgendered myself, before i found out i was as ignorant as most people were :( but being on the other side helps you understand.

  • ur right thats why im not religos because of the homophobic slurs
