The saddest commentary I have heard (from the mouths of Gay people ) is "If he hadn't been dressed deceptive, as a female, it wouldn't have happened.

I really can't imagine that anyone on this planet would believe that a human being deserved to die based on what he chose to wear.

Will there ever be a day when people who have been murdered are not the poster child for civil liberties?

I'm sad to think that might not ever happen. :-(

RIP Jorge

Descansa en paz Jorge. Siento mucho que la descriminacion y el perjuicio resulten en la perdida de vida. Cuanto mas va a tomar para que nosotros cambiemos nuestras aptitudes? Nosotros somos mejor que esto.
