Remembering Our Lost - The Hate Crime Victims of 2009

Herein, we remember and celebrate the lives of victims of hate crimes committed against queers in 2009. Profiled are Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado (19), Michael Scott Goucher (21), Cynthia Nicole Moreno (32) and Paulina Ibarra (24). The aforementioned have all been lost. We also look at one survivor, Brandon Patrick (23).

Some of these cases you may have heard about. Others you have likely never heard about. They are all from 2009. There were hundreds of others we are not showing you. Every year we lose more people. Until this stops or until I pass, every year I will make a video to profile a handful of cases: survivors and lost, solved and unsolved cases. Said video will be publicized by me (and hopefully, you, too) throughout the year to increase awareness and remembrance of those lost.

Do you remember? Remember the lost of 2009!
