    Re: kitty9 – STFU YOU STUPID BITCH. I KNEW HER, AND SHE WAS A VERY GOOD, SWEETY PERSON. GO TO HELL YOU PIECE OF SHIT…

    Sad. I live like 20 min from syracuse.

    they need an editor..
    "When they pulled up to the police, police say a number of people took issue with their arrival because the brothers because of their sexaulity."

    horrid crime - has nothing to do with equal rights though… the guy isn't going to get special treatment because he killed a transgender person.

    I currently live in the city of syracuse and have my whole life. Someone made the comment about syracuse being full of republicans which I have to say I KNOW is NOT TRUE. I do admit there is a lot of violence and what happened to this woman is terrible. I just hate to see people generalizing about a whole city they obviously know nothing about.



  6. 106

    This is horrible but if a person goes out with someone and does not tell then they are transgendered there is fight going to happen. People need to be up front about these things. I mean it is in a sense false advertising. Im sorry for the person who died.

    Re: LS
    I am so sorry for your loss of your friend!

    The world better educate themsleves that transgender are very passive and not a threat to society they do not and PEREZ LISTEN UP, HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS LIKE GAYS DO IN ON HIRING AND FIRING IN THE WORK PLACE.

    Transgender continue to be victimize while the gay community looks upon them as HOT TRANNY"S MESS shame shame shame! We are human beings
    not A WORD TO DECRIBE A MANLY LOOKING WOMAN.

    WORDS DO HURT BUT GAYS CAN NOT BE ACCEPTED IF THEY DON'T ACCEPT TRANSGENDERS AND CONTINUE TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST JUST LIKE SOME STRAIGHT PEOPLE.

    I KNOW BECAUSE I AM TRANSGENDER AND LIVE IN HOUSTON. SOME GAYS DO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST TRANSGENDER.

    Wow..this horrible. I don't understand the mentality of some people. How do you take someone's life because you disagree with how they choose to live. Terrible…I do agree with 'The Warden's comments though gays being able to marry in California wouldn't have kept this person from being killed in New York or even California itself…Stupid argument to make. You can't legislate people to not hate…The way Hate Crimes are handled are meant to be deterrents to this sorta thing..sad but hopefully justice is served.

    I believe that laws against murder are equally inclusive. Have all the votes and protest you want, but marriage will only ever be between a man and a woman in the eyes of God.



  10. 110

    Perez, you are so fucking ignorant. In that part of the law, murder, you are equal. Does the law state that it is legal to kill faggs and dykes? NO. This has nothing to do with "equality". That will not change things like this, so stop acting like it will and using this victim as a propaganda tool.

    ok let me start off my saying i dont condone murdering someone who doesnt deserve whether transgender or gay its wrong and God doesnt agree with it.but perez and the gay comunity get over it proposition 8 passed thank God and you dont have these "rights" you don't deserve. "THIS is one of the many reasons why we are fighting for full equality under the law!" realy because that makes perfect since if prop 8 is overturned everyone will just say well "we love gays and transexuals now because they law says they can get married" yall can get married all you want and were still going to hate your sins thats the botton line. GET OVER IT!!!!



  14. 114

    I never saw a transgender before in real life…



  15. 115

    I hate the world we live in.



  16. 116

    wow, so many people made fun of this post. sickos. this is a tragedy, and perez actually is right. when gays, lesbians, transgenders, transexuals, whatever sexuality are truly accepted in all facets of society from the military to the workplace to the church, to marriage to adoptions, then only can we work together to stop all this hate and violence against people that are seen as "not normal." Remember it wasn't that long ago African-Americans were lynched and hung by their neck in trees and hello, anyone heard of something called the Holocaust? Same thing, and we need to move forward to crush legislations like Proposition 8 all over the USA.



  17. 117

    She was cute too.



  18. 118

    Although this is an extremely unfortunate issue it has nothing to do with equality. Hate crimes will always happen because of some very stupid sick people. Blacks have equality but hate crimes are still done against them.



  19. 119

    OMG MY HOMETOWN!
    I feel like ive won an award being on Perez. haha
    and its not me…just where i live. lol

    it's so sad =[
    she and other people who are the same should be able to live freely.
    whats even more disgusting is how young they are/were.
    i hate society today.

    Re: anariablue – your immature and ignorant.
    i pity you.



  21. 121

    I am from upstate New York and attend school in Syracuse, and I have to admit, the area isn't a great one. There are places where people are chill, but then there are also patches of rough areas that you try to avoid. Regardless of where this sort of hate crime happens, it is sad to hear about. I wish people could learn to stop all the hate..



  22. 122

    This is sad, Perez. The most saddening part is that her own mother could not acknowledge that she lost a daughter - most likely a heterosexual daughter - and not a gay son.



  23. 123

    Re: LucyLips – Shut up you twat! Stop pretending these freaks are acceptable. They are disgusting! And will people stop calling HIM - Her! IT was a man in a dress. Why should we accept these revolting specimens? Maybe if these freaks didn't feel the need to cake on make up with a trowel, and dress like a hooker, they wouldn't be so foul.

    Guess what it might NOT of been a hate crime after all. The media here just wanted a story it was much deeper than Moses being GAY!



  28. 128

    this is so sad. =(



  29. 129

    Re: Big Black Dick – There go them gays pushing the black;s off the front page agin!



  30. 130

    that is wrong! This is one of the reasons why America sucks, because you can't be yourself anymore. there's always going to be "speed bumps" in life.
