Though horrific, Ruby Ordenana's murder last week in San Francisco hardly qualifies as original. The 27-year old woman's violent death counts as just one of many tranny-related murders. The Gender Public Advocacy Coalition reports that since 1995, at least fifty trans persons under the age of 30 have been brutalized simply for their physical "deviance". And that number will only continue to rise.

Firing of Steve Stanton
Commissioner Gay Gentry would ask everyone who has heard of the firing of City Manager Steve Stanton to believe that it was for his management style, not his transitioning from male to female.

Steve Stanton
I just read of how Steve Stanton has been fired from his job for seeking a sex change operation. How sad that the leaders of the city of Largo could not model a more compassionate and inclusive way of dealing with difference. They should consider the fact that there are others in their community who are struggling with this issue.
