  • Thank you for remembering!! <3

  • So heartbreaking :(

  • STOP THE VIOLENCE AND HATRED AGAINST ALL WOMEN'S AND AGAINST ALL TRANSGENDER PERSON AS WELL. ------------------------------­--- DO A WEB SEARCH ON: charles h. miranda OR: charlesthepoet2003 THANKS.
  • Okay,sorry for getting so mad. That just pisses me the hell off. I just can't help but to get like that whenever such injustice is done.

  • Oh yeah Brandon was brutally murdered and what do they do to "respect" and remember him? They use the wrong name and pronouns ON HIS OWN FUCKING TOMB STONE!!! I mean seriously!?!? Good lord when will these people learn???? I am in utter disbelief, and I would not be suprised if Brandon were still haunting that sight to this very day. They REALLY need to change their mistake asap! Do his own parents even love him? Ugh it just makes me SICK of all the things we have to go through. Why??? T_T

  • Comment removed

  • i dont believe anyone should die for what they feel they are; however teena's family chose to put the tombstone that way; why cant their wishes be respected?

  • @SuperSharain Um, idk. Maybe because the parent's wish is completely disrspectful to the person who died. He would have wanted to be remembered for the person that he was, not what someone else thinks he should be. Wouldn't you feel the same? Is that so much to ask? In my opinion what they did was totally innapropriate and highly disrespectful of not only the dead, but to their own son. It was a decision made out of pure ignorance and it's just not right.

  • @SuperSharain And it doesn't matter what one might identify as. When it comes down to the dead especially, we're all human no matter what, so of course we do deserve the same civil respect from one another regardless of our own opinions, beilefs, identity, etc. Basically all the stuff that makes each person different from the other. Whether we have to just agree to disagree, we all know it's better than being violent. We're living in a crazy world. Might as well take it for what it is! lol ;-D

  • omg so sad

  • God does not hate. People hate. I am so tired of seeing and hearing that "God hates fags". I saw a minister holding that sign recently.

  • @KyHazard I don't like transsexuals at all. I think their gross and disgusting. That being said I think transsexuals need to be treated like everyone else. Equal access to career, education, health, housing, human rights etc. I think things need to be fair. Just because I may FEEL disgust at someone does not mean the logical part of my mind is not working. It is irrational to prevent transsexuals from living their lives and doing whatever they want including getting married.

  • I WANT TO TELL THE WHOLE

    WORLD THAT I'M A TRANSGENDER

    TOO; SO GO AHEAD AND HATE ME

    TO, GOD HATES ALL KINDS OF

    VIOLENCE AND SO DO I; THE ONLY

    ONE WHO LOVES VIOLENCE IS

    THE DEVIL, SO WHO SIDE ARE YOU

    ON. do a web search on:

    ==============================­========

  • YOUTUBE SUCK I CAN'T POST

    ANYTHING AT ALL

  • brought tears to mi eyes!!!

  • brought tears to mi eyes!!!

  • May I use this during our TDoR 2010 in Edmonton, Alberta?

  • @cjpaish Of course =]

  • When will the hate finally stop.

  • it's these kinda things that make me scared to be trans... D: I hATE that his family did that to him.... putting those pronouns just isn't right. end of story.

  • The indifference to these deaths by mainstream society is what truly sickens me. These are PEOPLE being murdered. Not characters in a fictional story. If the status quo wants to see them as people who "dress funny," that's fine. BUT they are still HUMAN BEINGS! So if the message is that we can go around killing anyone randomly 'cause they're different, then most of us better watch our backs. Everyone is "different." So who's next? People who wear glasses? How about those who are indifferent?

  • ppl are so fucking narrow minded that's why!

  • what day is the the day of remembrance?

  • @dorothycolleen On or as close to November 20th.

  • As a transgendered person im going to live my life, for me yet also these ppl... no matter how many times someone gets killed, beaten etc, we must continue to fight to live out lives... for these brave ppls sakes, and future generations x

  • Transgender = Niggar

    Could you people PLEASE sstop saying that horrible word! Sheesh!

  • Imna go weep now.

  • As a young cross-dresser whose new to the revelation that she is a he, this really affected me because it showed me just what this means for me. It's scary, number one) being something your not, and number two) knowing that some people will hate me for it. Thank you so much for sticking up for people like me. I just don't understand why some people can't accept us for who we are.

  • Its very sad that they put Branons female name and pronoun on her grave stone. WHY?!!!!!! I know............

  • Very good and touchig...i cried :(

    i noticed that too about Branon...why?

  • Is it because some 1 want to live as he wanted to live he die that's unfair =/

  • after everything brandon teena went through they put him as teena brandon, daughter and sister on his gravestone?

    i cried

  • Why the hell did they put Brandon's tombstone as Teena.... wow.

  • @amb0 Maybe he didn't get a chance to legally change his name or something.

  • His family did not "recognize" him as male and held onto the idea of him as a "daughter, sister" & friend in death (these words are also written on the tombstone).

  • @deseodecorazon Such a slap in the face for him though :(

  • yep =[

  • My sympathy and compassion go out to all the families and friends of these innocent victims. In times like these, it is better to listen than to speak.

  • rememberances should come before anything...we have to change this world by caring for one another, not caring, not educating, and not realizing the truth, that all should be free to choose the lifestyle they want, is just such a slap in the face to the whole human race...and our freedoms,stop hating,stop ignorance,use your words to open up the eyes of bigotted people who choose to deny because they are blind to their own social ineptness,neandrathal thinking should be left in the cave...

  • WHY is Brandon Teena's grave under his birth name? I think that's pretty disrespectful, considering he wished to be known as a male named Brandon and on his grave he's Teena Brandon - Daughter, Sister, Friend.

    My thoughts go out to anyone who has lost a loved one who was trans to hate.

    Remember to honor their memory on November 20th!

  • Always wondered that too =\

  • @MissDumont

    I guess his parents just couldn't accept the "choice" their son made.

    What a sad life they must lead knowing their child died without his parent's acceptance.

  • @MissDumont his grave is under his birth name because his mother laid him to rest and she didnt respect his transition. if my parents did(do) that i would hate them so much.

  • @MissDumont theres a filmed based on his story called 'Boys dont cry' you can get it from any DVD Store. Its worth a watch x

  • What a lovely tribute. I can't believe all the hate that goes down just because someone is not happy within their own bodies, and wants to be who they were destined to be. Why the closed minds!?? It breaks my heart. I am a biological female who is happy with my gender, but I still empathize, sympathize and have compassion for those who are not. May all of those touched by this horrible violence rest in peace. My prayer is that this will cease, and all can live in peace, without fear.

  • a trans woman IS a woman, i agree that you should tell someone that your trans before you enter a serious relationship but a trans person doesn't just 'look' like someone of the opposite physical sex, and if you once had a cleft pallet and fixed it, does it mean that you have to tell everyone you sleep with that you once had a cleft pallet? scientifically and even morally they are the same thing, a physical deformity which one can change,

    not 2 mention d fact dat trickery doesnt justify murder

  • So true 1vella.

  • Tin1999 - yes, Deez21177 is a moron. One of the worst kind.

  • yes, i see... so all transpeople should be able to be identified at all times by the general public. how about we wear we wear big signs that say TRANSPERSON. Tell me, does that sound familiar? ''wear this or shit wont happen to you'' is your view- well that kind of nazi pathology has been tried before, so you should think before you speak!

  • Is it just me or is Deez21177 a complete moron? I hope you give birth to the most deformed grosseteste child. Only you will love that child and only you will be it's protector and then you will understand

  • Deez27177 - I cannot believe you can come here and state that WE deserve it. No one DESERVES to be murdered for simply being 'Trans'.How on earth do people like you get through a day with this oddball, psychology? So, what you are saying is that I must go through life telling everyone what I am? That is no better then the lousy Nazi's and how they made the Jewish people wear the Star of David on their lapels to shame them. You are the worst kind of individual possible.Maybe we should cull you!

  • ur video make me so sad!!! people are so cruel and ignorant. States dont do enough to protect transgenders and in a way the death of these innocent people has been caused by them. they should run educational programs in schools and teach the new generation to love and treat others equally ,recognizing that we all different

  • Thanks =) they should raise awareness about it, but a lot of people don't understand transgender people so they don't think it is worth it

  • very powerful,

    well-done

  • RIP

    god bless there familys

  • Wow.  Very powerful

  • This was a really great video. Thank you for sharing it!

  • thank you

  • thank you so much for this!

  • my heart goes out to these people

  • Amazing. Just. Amazing.

    Much kudos to you.

    It really makes me sad how much ignorance there are in people to the point that they think discrimination is right.

    I didn't know nov. 20th was for this, but thank you :]

  • This is amazing. Would it be okay if I showed this to my schools GSA for our Transgender Day of Remembrance Meeting?

  • yeah, that is totally cool with me!

  • Awesome! Now I just gotta show it to the advisor. Thanks so much!

  • I'm a t-woman that has to carry a load gun everyday in my bag. I would trade the life for every T-women that was killed by stupit ass men for my death. Just by looking at there photographs they were happy with so much life. My life die years ago. I don't want to be here on this earth. I have thought of committing suicide in a very pain full way. For myself it is extremely dangerous living as a t-woman and it is a matter of time someone is going to try something and we both will be .......

  • Hang in there and don't give idiots that hate trans people the satisfaction of making you miserable. You only get one shot at life. I use to be in the same boat of wanting to commit suicide, but the best way to conquer through it is to find people who really care about you. It is hard living through life in fear of getting killed, but a friend told me to live without any regrets and make the best of life.

  • *hugs* Life sucks sometimes, but we pull through anyway. People are assholes, that's just their nature. But we are strong, capable humans who can survive even with the odds against us.

  • I love a man who is transgendered. This made me cry because I fear something like this will happen and my heart goes out to the families and loved ones of these people. Its so sad and it makes me angry that people commit such crimes just because they're different. They were all beautiful people and didn't deserve it. The video was well put together and thanks for making it.

  • wow this made me cry. Thanks for finding all of this and compiling a video, i had absolutely no idea.

  • you know

    its things like this that make me not want to live in this twisted world

    people who die due to hate crimes, i feel such sorrow that they had to die that way

    im very angry that there could be so much hate in someones heart for another that they would have to kill someone to rid of it.

    I say, we should do our part and stick up for those who need it.

  • yeah... I really hate seeing people pick on someone else because they are transgendered and at times no one does anything about it and that is the thing that bothers me most.

  • i say that people should start doing something!

    i figure that there is no good reason for hate

    because in reality

    were all the same

    we all need the same thing

    we all want the same thing

    i dont see what color of skin, gender, or sexual orientation has to do with ANYTHING...So whats the big deal? can we get on with life without critisizing people or is that too hard for everyone to handle?

  • I think it is the media and peoples beliefs that will make them scared of transgendered people to where they end up hating them because they don't understand it or are too lazy too..I've done some stuff in my community to help, but it's hard in a Bible state :(

  • i agree. I, myself, stopped being christian because of their views on homosexuality among other things. I am a bisexual teenage girl and i was critisized for it. So i just completely lost faith for a while. and so now i consider myself agnostic. that way i have no one telling me that i am a contradiction to my religion. I guess thats what the media does to people. its a cycle of brainwashing of the perfect image and the perfect person.

  • I hope the hate stops soon, so children who are young don't have to fear for their lives in the future because they are tg. I had that fear most most of my life.

  • @CatholicCrusaders

    The people that murdered Jesse were evil and sexual orientation has nothing to do with being Transgender.

  • What's "normal"?

  • There is no such thing as normal. Only differences. and being different is good. The planet would be boring if everyone was the same(AKA: Normal)

  • It is not easy being different from everyone else. Most people dont realise or seem to care that Transsexuals have the HIGHEST suicide rate out of any group at a whopping 31%. 50% of transsexuals will have attempted suicide by 20. Yet people think there is nothing wrong?!

  • true, they never look at the facts right in front of their faces because they only care about themselves. The majority still think trans are "freaks" because the media portray them that way sometimes and so they don't care..very depressing.

  • We need to stand togather and hep erase hate in the GLBT community!We dont have to be in the GLBT community to help end the silence!

  • wow, i can't believe this is your first video?! it is incredibly well done...and your choice of content is awesome...a moving and important message of awareness, compassion, love, and tolerance. thank you for sharing!

  • thanks! It really is my first video.. I'm hoping to do another video on the Day of Silence sometime soon.

  • I do not know your pain...but I am deeply sorry that you do.

  • What an important video.

  • this is sad

  • this world offers so many beautiful ways to live your life... we should cherish that instead of hating everything that seems to be different because different is normal, is life, is LOVE!

  • Being transsexual this video almost moved me to tears. Knowing something so horrible has happened to so many people jst because others could not understand. I do not understadn the hate. Why is it here? We are just normal people wanting live out normal lives

  • This is an amazing video. The music really compliments the sadness of Transgender Day.

    I don't understand this violence. I hope it stops someday soon. :(

  • Thank You! For posting this video for all TG and their friends and family!
