Westerners are so SUPER CIVILIZED, they MURDRERED 600 LGBTQ people in
USA in just one year.
Another PROOF, Whites were "NEVER CIVILIZED", they "CUNNINGLY and
DECEPTIVELY brainwashed the whole fucking world TO THINK that whites are civilized."
Whites "destroy Reality" and INJECT fake/delusional reality EVERY TIME
they open their bodily orifices and say something.
The resident lunatic senile racistfuck Robert Henderson is a perfect
example.

Suffering in the shadows: More than 600 LGBTQ people killed in the US in
past two decades

Matthew Shepard’s murder shook much of the nation from a slumber that deadened empathy for a LGBTQ community plagued by decades of
discrimination. But the nightmare didn't stop just because some woke up.
More than 600 LGBTQ-identifying people have been killed in acts of
violence in the United States and Puerto Rico since Oct. 12, 1998, the
day Shepard died at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado,
after he was brutally attacked near Laramie, Wyoming.
A 2016 Gallup poll estimated that 4.1 percent — or 10 million — of the nation’s population identifies as LGBTQ. While federal data lists sexual orientation as a factor in only one reported hate crime in 2016, the
Coloradoan verified 67 violent deaths of LGBTQ people in the same year,
28 of whom were victims in the Pulse nightclub shooting. To advocates,
that number suggests that the actual number of hate crimes suffered by
the community is much higher but remains hidden by a national patchwork
of uneven laws and inconsistent reporting.
The Coloradoan scoured media archives, online memorial pages, police
records and advocacy reports to tell the stories of the nation’s LGBTQ residents lost to violence in the first online database of its kind.
Reporters tracked all verifiable violent deaths, not just those
prosecuted as hate crimes, as five states lack hate crime laws while
numerous other state laws lack protections for either gender identity,
sexual orientation, or both.

Police in Dallas are investigating the Tuesday death of a transgender
woman as a homicide, according to CBS DFW. The woman, identified as
22-year-old Merci Mack by the Human Rights Campaign, is at least the
18th transgender or gender-non-conforming person slain in the U.S. in
2020, the group said.
That's up from 11 deaths in the same period in 2019 — although many more
may have gone unreported.
Mack was found shot to death in the parking lot of an apartment building
around 6:15 a.m. Tuesday, according to CBS DFW. Residents reported
hearing gunshots around 5 a.m., but there are no records of 911 calls at
that time.

"Another Black transgender woman has had her life stolen from her," Tori Cooper, HRC director of community engagement for the Transgender Justice Initiative, said in a statement. "...Her friends say that Merci Mack was
a young, upbeat soul who deserved to experience a full life. HRC is
mourning with Merci's loved ones and are calling for a full, thorough investigation into her death."
Police have not identified a suspect.
Mack's death came after 17-year-old Brayla Stone, who HRC identified as
a black transgender girl, was found slain in Arkansas last Thursday.
Police said the body of Stone, who lived in North Little Rock, was found
in a vehicle on a walking path in nearby Sherwood, according to CBS
affiliate TVH11.
The Sherwood Police Department is investigating the death as a homicide,
but has not released information about how Stone died or whether a
suspect has been identified. The department did not immediately return a request for comment from CBS News.
Transgender and gender non-conforming people face a heightened risk of
fatal violence, and Black transgender women are especially vulnerable
because of a "a toxic mix of transphobia, racism and misogyny,"
according to the Human Rights Campaign. Most transgender people who are
killed are victims of gun violence, according to an analysis by research
and advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.
"Brayla Stone was a child. A child, just beginning to live her life. A
child of trans experience. A young Black girl who had hopes and dreams,
plans and community," Cooper said in a statement. "As a nation, we
failed Brayla — as we have failed every transgender or gender
non-conforming person killed in a country that embraces violence and
upholds transphobia, racism, [and] homophobia. Guns are not as important
as people."
The FBI reported a significant increase in hate crimes motivated by
gender identity bias between 2017 and 2018, the most recent year for
which federal hate crime data is available.
Advocates are using the phrase "Black Trans Lives Matter" to raise
awareness about anti-transgender violence amid nationwide demonstrations protesting systemic racism and police brutality. Thousands participated
in rallies for black trans lives in New York City and across the country
last month in the wake of the murders of two black trans women: Riah
Milton in Liberty Township, Ohio, and Dominique "Rem'mie" Fells in Philadelphia.
Investigators in Butler County, Ohio, have made two arrests and are
still searching for a third suspect in the death of Milton, who was shot
to death during an apparent robbery in a park on June 9.
Philadelphia police are searching for 36-year-old Akhenaton Jones in the killing of Fells, whose body was found June 8 on the banks of the
Schuylkill River.
Police told an ABC affiliate that the 27-year-old had suffered stab
wounds, and that her body was found with both legs severed.
In a June statement, the Philadelphia Police Department's Office of LGBT affairs said the pain of losing a member of the city's LGBTQ community
"is especially deep as we are in the midst of Pride month—a season
typically filled with joy and celebration for many in our community."
"As thousands take to the streets to proclaim that Black Lives Matter,
it is critical we remember that this includes Black trans lives.
Dominique Rem'mie Fells' life mattered," the statement said.
