When my soul in awesome wonder
Excuse me for linking to Wikipedia twice, but a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do.
While you're lighting a candle for Matthew Shepard, you might think about the sad fact that, while it sure didn't do Matthew Shepard any good to be gay, at least there was an outcry about his death.
But if you aren't white and male, it doesn't matter so much that someone hates you enough to murder you.
So you might take a moment to remember Sakia Gunn while you're at it. Same orientation, same crime ... very little outcry, except from the LBGT community in Newark. Personally, I'm guessing that the stones in New Jersey are beginning to consider whether they might have something to say on the subject, as well.
