Nov 20, 2009 - This is why I don't call people homophobic..these people aren't afraid. We can see this from all the deaths in the vid. They are just evil bigots.....evil straight people..... SMH

Nov 20, 2009 - Why did the numbers double this year? Could it be because they are now openly reported unlike the previous years?

LindsayStone Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - I'm sure that is one factor, also could have something to do with more of us being open

LindsayStone Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - Fear is a driving force behind such acts, and yes I do feel the ones who did this are evil

LindsayStone Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - Thanks for viewing

Nov 20, 2009 - Beautiful music, is it available anywhere? Also, WTF is going on in Brazil??!!

LindsayStone Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - Thanks I have not uploaded the mp3 anywhere yet, I might at some point and as far as Brazil I have no clue and the fact that the names are unknown is an even worst sign

Nov 20, 2009 - Thank you for making this. It is so important. I honestly cried whilst watching it because it is too much.

LindsayStone Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - thank you for watching, and trust me I know I have cried several times while working on the video and even since then

Nov 21, 2009 - They are not all necessarily straight ..... Even unhappy , distraight by their reality gay people kill others in their need to "kill" what they feel ashamed in themselves ....

Nov 21, 2009 - tucker jay, if there had been ANY trans men murdered this year they would have been listed. perhaps you might want to think about why it is that white transmen especially in the USA have so much damn privilege and yet after watching a video about all the trans women of colour who have been murder all you can think about is what about the trans men. your privilege is showing. So what trans men were murder this year? what about last year? As a trans man I call bullshit on your post.

Nov 21, 2009 - Thank you for putting this together. Someday things will be better for us but for now we still live in fear and that is unacceptable in my mind. We are human beings just like every other person in the world and should be treated as such. The best way to fix this I believe is through education, but not everybody wants to learn. :(

LindsayStone Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - This is very true I could not agree more, but education can just be living open as well you know

bonemybrass36 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - Agreed, but if living out in the open results in over 100 deaths then I feel there needs to be another way. I am blessed to live in an area in the US where I do not live in fear everyday but there are many people out there especially in other countries who need help. I wish there was a way to educate people in other countries.

Nov 23, 2009 - Well done. Well voicing the problems and pain. My eyes arent dry either... Keep up the good work, create awareness.

Airethilien Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - its the small things that matter, point them out and weed them out Tell your collegues when they are making jokes about transvestites and/or transsexuals or whoever, explain to them what it is like, what is happening. we can all put a stop to this. make everyone around you aware!

LindsayStone Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - I agree just living our lives without shame is activism for sure thank you so much for posting this comment

Airethilien Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - I am looking for such also. At this point I try to fill anyone i encounter, collegues, friends, family etc. etc. Every little bit helps!
