Candlelight Vigil for Chad Gibson

Candlelight Vigil for Victim of Anti-Gay Police Violence

Queer Liberaction organized a Candlelight Vigil for Chad Gibson, 26, the victim of police violence last weekend at the Rainbow Lounge in Ft. Worth.

The GLBT community and their allies are outraged by the actions of the Ft. Worth Police Department's tactics in raiding the bar and arresting its customers. The GLBT community is especially concerned over the condition of Mr. Gibson who, according to eyewitnesses, sustained sever injuries to the head by Ft. Worth Police officers as they attempted to arrest and handcuff him. According to family members of Mr. Gibson, if his brain swelling and bleeding continues, surgery may be necessary.
