 Houston Trans Woman Beaten, Officials Offer Lukewarm Response

While trans advocates and allies around the world were hosting vigils to commemorate the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20, 33-year-old trans woman of color Thailand Warr was attacked by seven strangers in the lobby of her Houston apartment building, reports Texas LGBT magazine About.

Warr, an entertainer who performs under the stage name DeyJzah Opulent Mirage, says she was preparing for a show at Houston Improv when she heard a loud knock at her door; when she answered, no one was there. After this happened again, she asked a neighbor who said two men had knocked and ran away.

Soon after, as Warr was descending the high-rise's stairs to meet a waiting taxi, she tells About that a group of five black men and two black women in their late teens to early-20s stopped her. One of the men, police discovered, was the son of a woman who lived in the building.

During the vicious attack that ensued, Warr alleges that a female assailant grabbed her wig saying, "I want that hair," a young man threw punches, several people grabbed at her chest in an attempt to expose her breasts, and one man stabbed her above an eye with a pocketknife.

Friends suspect Kansas City man was killed because he was gay

Dionte Greene was many things.

Son. Brother. Father to twin daughters. Long-standing member of Kansas City’s Marching Cobras.

He was also gay.

Now many in Kansas City’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, or LGBT, community fear that’s why someone killed him.

“It needs to be addressed,” said Starzette Palmer, a friend of Greene and fellow member of the African-American LGBT group Our Thentic.

The crime remains unsolved.

US minister gets daily death threats for performing gay marriages

Threatening voicemail messages, rocks thrown at her door and a gruesome message from someone who wanted to behead her. These are all the things Reverend Jackie Carter has had to deal with since she has started performing gay marriages.

Carter is a minister at First Metropolitan Community Church in Wichita, Kansas where gay marriage has been legal for less than a month.

She has been the victim of an onslaught of attacks including having rocks and BB gun pellets being thrown at the church windows and receiving threatening phone calls. All because she has been officiating marriage between same-sex couples.

One person even threatened to behead her and put her head on a stake.

Alaska gay couple's car defaced with homophobic, Nazi and religious signs

He dismissed the food as a prank until his husband found on their car a collage of anti-gay signs and drawings containing homophobic, racist and religious language as well as a Nazi swastika.

The signs read: ''Fag free zone,' 'White power,' 'Fags die, God laughs, homosexuality is sin,' 'I hate you,' 'Two men should friends! Not butt buddies!!!,' 'Homos are possessed by demons,' and 'God hates fag enablers.'

'The whole thing kind of felt like they had observed us or they were at least familiar with who we were,' Jacobson told KTVA.

'It was planned. They clearly put a lot of effort into that poster.'

He said the vandals might have felt 'marginalized' by the state's legalization of gay marriage in September.

Jacobson and his husband married a year and a half ago and have lived in the house for four years.
