If we don't act we will be exterminated. We are in a fight for every LGBT life. So far this year there has been 20 suicides in the US, mostly teens and young adults and 22 murders doubled that of 2014. Worldwide at times there has been one murder every 29 hours. Every one of these deaths has this in common. There is a prevailing social climate stigmatizing trans people which precludes gainful employment, housing and access to public accommodations. Our murders and suicides are the direct results of the labor of the 784 hate groups operating in the US. Of those, 33 target LGBT people. But since marriage equality became law Transgender and gender non-conforming people have become their focus. And you can bet your life they celebrate each and every one of our deaths. This is no longer a hodgepodge of homegrown knee jerk reactionary extremists responding ineffectually to local human rights ordinances. We are now facing a well-financed coordinated attack by ‘family’ organizations, “religious” zealots, Tea Party extremists and associated hate groups. These groups as we saw in Plano Texas will not be placated with Jim Crow style amendments excluding trans people in proposed or existing non-discrimination ordinances. Then they will go after Gay and Lesbians. You can not bury your head in the sand, they are relentless adversaries. As a Texan, I can tell you I am deeply concerned. No, not just concerned, frightened, by whom these people are. The Governor and Lt Governor of Texas are paying for ads featuring themselves which perpetuate lies that kill transgender people... planettransgender.com/the-42-us-transgender-deaths-this-year-are-their-success/

I really don't know if I would blame the TEA party. Or the Republicans in general. TEA stands for Taxed Enough Already. I mean we do have The Log Cabin Republicans over here that stick up for LGBT rights within the republican party. And yes it is a real thing and not just a skit on The cartoon American Dad. Seriously Aisla. They have no success because when they get caught and are convicted and spend a long time caged up, that person don't win. That group in a lot of places don't win. Because more and more people are easing out everyday. I mean if someone kills a person because they are LGBT then that is a hate crime. I think crime is crime personally and someone that can take another's life so callously over nothing other than their own hate and self loathing should either spend the rest of their lives behind bars or put to death themselves. I'm not either for or against capital punishment but some crimes are so heinous that the person that committed the murder should not even be in society either behind bars or not. They can always escape. Sometimes rehabilitation when the person is so twisted will never work. As amatter of fact, if they are that twisted then they can play the system, get paroled and do it again to another innocent victim. These are the true monsters under our beds. These are the true demons we should be afraid of running across. Sometimes just being at the wrong place at the right time. If it is beyond a shadow of a doubt then I support the death penalty. If these people can kill like John Wayne Gayce, Jeffery Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and all the others. Then they should not live behind bars but suffer the same torments they put their victims through. To hell with the "needle" or getting "zapped". Let the family member have one day with them. That would be justice. Well for me anyway. I am not talking about an abused spouse that killed in self defense or someone else that protected themselves or their children. But the real monsters and predators out there. Hell I hate calling them predators because in the animal kingdom predators have to eat too it is the circle of life. A predatory animal kills to eat. They do not rape or torture their prey but kill as quick as they can in order to eat. I am not talking about monsters like the cannibal Jeffery Dahmer because he was a monster. Supposedly human but he got real justice in prison. So I hate calling them predators but sick ass monsters. As for suicides though. That is truly sad. No one should feel that is the only relief that they can get for being trans or LGB either. Dammit. I am rambling. Maybe too much wine?
