PERSONA DANCING ALL OVER MY SOUL

@people outside the LGBT+ community

In regards to my previous post about the general public being unsafe for LGBT+ folk, here’s some receipts that I cross-referenced with different sites to affirm credibility.

And here’s something important to consider: YOU contribute to this even if you’re not stabbing and shooting LGBT+ people. YOU contribute to this every time you ignore someone’s preferred name and pronouns, every time you complain about how LGBT+ people are so overly sensitive and need to “not make everything about their sexual orientation”, every time you roll your eyes about pride parades or protests for more LGBT+ rights. YOUR complacency contributes to all of the fatalities and hate crimes detailed below. YOUR complacency allows this violence to continue. YOUR complacency makes the world an unsafe space for LGBT+ people to simply exist.

This article is the basis, describing a lot of the history and current events of LGBT+ hate crimes. If you only read one of these resources, let it be this one.
https://www.nytimes.com/…/…/us/hate-crimes-against-lgbt.html

And here is the FBI’s hate crime statistics for 2015. Hate crimes against LGBT+ folk comprise about 20% of all hate crimes from 2015. I checked 2014 out of curiosity, and it was about the same, give or take a percent.

This is a detailed breakdown of the Orlando shooting that occurred last June- the largest mass shooting in American history that took the lives of over 50 people.

It’s quite lengthy, but this document details several case studies and narratives of transgender people who were murdered in acts of hate in recent years. The information presented includes up to 2015 accounts.

And, finally, as a little visual tidbit, this source is a map illustrating which states have laws against hate crimes, which states have laws against hate crimes that include sexual orientation, and states that have laws against hate crimes that include sexual orientation AND gender identity.

And another one gone, and another one gone, and another one bites the dust.
And where are the posts? The hashtags? The major media attention?
Over half of all people killed by the police have a disability.
And nobody gives a damn.
Paul Gianelos.
Remember his name.
Because nobody else will.

Police Shoot Unarmed Man and his 6-Year-Old Autistic Son in the Head Multiple Times Killing Son
As of Thursday morning, at least 834 people had been shot and killed by American police officers so far this year.
Six-year-old Jeremy David Mardis is the youngest among them.
The autistic first-grader was sitting in the front passenger seat of a car being driven by his father, Chris Few, in Marksville, La., when city marshals “allegedly” attempted to serve the man a warrant about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday night. But when checked with the County Clerks office, no warrant could be found in the database.
Police claim Few fled, eventually turning down a dead-end street. And that Few then attempted to back his vehicle out, striking officers’ cruisers, prompting an exchange of gunfire between the officers and driver that left him hospitalized and his son dead.
However, An official briefed on the shooting said that Few was unarmed when two officers opened fire, shooting between 13 and 18 bullets combined. Five of the officers’ bullets pierced Jeremy’s body, Mayeux said, with the two fatal shots hitting him in the head and chest. That official said it is unclear if the shooting was captured on camera.
The police involved in the shooting all had criminal records including rape.
After the officers names were released, It didn’t take long for local press to uncover extensive rap sheets for both officers:
Derrick Stafford, the officer indicted for rape, also has five pending civil suits against him for various complaints of excessive force, including breaking the arm of a 14-year-old girl on a school bus as well as assaulting and pepper-spraying a 15-year-old boy at a Fourth of July celebration.
Norris Greenhouse Jr., the other officer implicated in the murder of 6-year-old Jeremy Mardis, is named in several of the same suits for acting in tandem with Stafford.
Louisiana State Police announced on Wednesday that they had launched an investigation into the incident at the request of the Marksville Police Department.

This is heartbreaking.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Where are the all lives matter people? I have only seen BLM blogs cover this.
White people dont care about this. They just want to make sure Black people don’t complain.

Sam Pepper is an actual fucking psychopath oh my god
What happened???
He played a “prank” where he kidnapped two of his friends - one of them was in on it - and pretended to murder one of them while the other, the one who wasn’t in on it, was screaming and crying and so horrified and apparently saying “he’s all I have”. And like. That’s not funny?? At all???? That’s fucking psychotic???? Also even if it’s for a prank kidnapping is still a felony. His friend could literally develop PTSD from this experience. There’s absolutely nothing funny about it like I don’t even understand what was SUPPOSED to be humorous about it. And I just. I don’t understand what the fuck is wrong with him.
WHAT THE FUCK. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS
It’s trending on twitter. If you have anxiety or paranoia or just anything like that DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO. Like even just out of curiosity. Just don’t. Also he doesn’t deserve more views. (Any questions you have about it can probably be answered by people on twitter.)
it’s fucking horrific. i thought that asshole couldn’t get any worse.
We all thought that but apparently that psychotic, evil, subhuman piece of shit was determined to prove us wrong

what a great idea
lets use an important cause to systematically shut down an entire mall during the holidays that people are going to so they can purchase gifts for their loved ones and give the less fortunate a decent holiday
what a bunch of fucking idiots
know what’s really unfortunate
the people who can’t buy gifts for their loved ones because their loved ones were murdered
