"...maybe if all the gay men who act as if equality means marriage, if all the white feminists who only serve those that look like them, if all the queers who drop "TWOC" like a shibboleth but don't know or talk to or walk beside any actual trans women of color…maybe if all of you saw what was happening here and how your actions allow it, how every moment of silence, of waiting for people of color to start the conversation about race …maybe this child could have enjoyed a few more years of being beautiful among us.

A 21 year old was beat to death in our streets. It happened because she is a woman, and of color, and transgender. It happened because our men won't admit they love us, because our friends aren't speaking out against the thousand little dehumanizing actions of others, because our own "LGBT" community isn't comfortable talking about race and class.

This has to change. Now."https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQCARukFltCWIe36&w=154&h=154&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2F023a7174f94f420fae01f85af73b186d%2Ftumblr_inline_mrzqwmTuiP1qz4rgp.jpghttp://smartassjen.tumblr.com/post/59112057117/maybe-ifsmartassjen.tumblr.com

Scary and troubling news coming out of Chelsea. Please remain safe and aware, no matter where you are...

"I was hit with brass knuckles down the side of my face, and I had contusions; had to have an MRI, and Michael received several stitches in his mouth where they punched us," Notman said.

"It was six of them against the two of us," Notman said, "typical of the cowards they are."https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQDPqtRHriPxh77p&w=154&h=154&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcbsnewyork.files.wordpress.com%2F2013%2F08%2Fchelsea.jpg%3Fw%3D625http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/08/14/nypd-two-gay-men-attacked-outside-theater-in-chelsea/newyork.cbslocal.com

The Men Who Want AIDS—and How It Improved Their Lives

"Homeless LGBT youth need the things that anyone needs to live. 'To have transportation, to not worry about where their next meal is going to come from,' he says. 'To have the skills to learn a trade, to earn money. To be able to socialize with people safely and not have to be looking over their shoulders.' But the most important thing, according to Bolas, is 'to have a place where they can sleep and where their door locks.'" - James Bolas Empire State Coalition of Youth and Family Services) (many of whose members are quoted in the article, Trinity Place Shelter is a longstanding affiliate/organizational member) h/t Mary Foulke
