This type of behavior is so sickening. I want to vomit after watching that, and I didn't finish all the way through it.

The gay and lesbian community has people like Ellen, Elton John, and Barney Frank to name just a few people who are out and proud in the public sphere. I cannot think of anyone besides Chaz Bono who has that kind of presence in public life to put a face to our diverse community. If people don't know who we are they are much more likely to feel comfortable treating us like dirt.

We need to stand up for ourselves and for trans allies to stand up for us too, and together, let people know that this won't be tolerated or swept under the rug.

For those of you reading this who aren't trans identified, will YOU stand with us to fight this hate?
