The saddest thing about Dyna's post to me is the assumption that only GLBT members of our community would show up to pay their respects to those needlessly assaulted and killed by hate crimes.

There should have been enough community members from all walks of life in attendance to deflect the cynical view that they all must be gay. Transgender people are the marginalized of the marginalized - even in happy, healthy and 'tolerant' Minneapolis. More of us should be concerned about our fellow Minnesotans who live in such danger day in and day out.
