Gay Bashing Is Never Cool…
I will never understand what goes in people’s head for them think that it is cool to jump someone simply for just being who they are.

CeCe McDonald
In October of 2009, President Obama finally signed into law the “Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act”. This law was to address the violence visited upon the Gender Non-Conforming (GNC, aka TBGL) community. Besides providing for stiffer penalties for perpetrators of hate crimes against this community, it’s purpose was to provide avenues for the FBI’s Civil Rights division to take over investigation of violent crimes when local authorities lacked the resources or intention to investigate them (indeed even if the local authorities are/were the perpetrators). The CeCe McDonald case would indeed seem to be just such a case. The local authorities, and the prosecutor in the person of Michael Freeman of Hennipen County, Minneapolis, certainly seem to have maitained a miscarriage of justice against this young African American transwoman, CeCe McDonald.
Man Wrongfully Outed By Best Buy Employee…
I don’t like to take my stuff to places like Best Buy for repair because I don’t trust anyone when it comes to my babies (my phone, laptops,mp3 players etc.). They already know how to hack into my shit so why would I give them the opportunity?
After the reading this article, I REALLY won’t be making an appearance in the Geek Squad department anytime soon!
