Why thank you =)
Hey kiddos, it’s unpopular opinion time.
I am so fucking sick of white, cisgender, gender-confirming men being the face of LGBT suicide and hate crime. Look at any study that has ever been done on the subject and it’ll tell you that transgender people (particularly trans* adolescents) are more at risk for suicide than any other segment of the queer community and trans women (particularly those of color) are the most at risk to be the victims of hate crime, making up nearly half of LGBTQ murder victims.
Now, I’m not saying what happened to likes of Matthew Shepard, Tyler Clementi or Jamey Rodemeyer isn’t sad; it is, but where is the outrage over Deoni Jones? Where is the call to action over Agnes Torres-Hernadez?
It’s hard to buy the self-congratulatory way liberals mourn certain LGBT deaths, while with so many more they simply DO. NOT. GIVE. A. FUCK.
Every time a white, middle class, cisgender gay man kills himself or is killed, you’d think they crucified Christ again.
But any time a queer person who falls outside that description is killed? Crickets.
Welcome to America, indeed.
