glaad: Violence Against Transgender People and People of Color is Disproportionately High, LGBTQH Murder Rate Peaks The murder rate of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and HIV-affected (LGBTQH) is at its highest, according to a recently released 2011 report from the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP). The report also shows that transgender women, people of color, and youth and young adults are at a disproportionately high risk of being victims of what the NCAVP terms hate violence. PLEASE SHARE.
I don’t think I’ve ever honestly critiqued someone on the internet and actually put thought into it. This guy wrote a brilliant article here. Yet I still needed to critique his inclusion of theories on how gays are created, something most queer theorists, especially Eve Sedgwick, rejects. She argues for a more blissful ignorance in the thought of whether or not the nature/nurture processes create gay people. If you have the time and the energy, I suggest reading her essay “How To Bring Your Kids Up Gay”. It’s full of heavy academic jargon but the theory behind it is great.
