The next time someone tries to tell you that we're looking for "special privileges," show him or her this video. How can anyone say we're trying to get "preferential" treatment when too many of us have to risk our lives to do something that every person--straight, gay, trans, cis or otherwise--needs to do every day?
How safe are we when an employee of the McDonalds in which the beating took place cheers the attackers on?
And don't get me started on the rates at which we experience unemployment, poverty and homicide.
