Welcome back for an emotional, disturbing episode of Queer All Year!Today we're talking about more current events than usual: the murder of a 17-year-old, black, transgender girl, Brayla Stone on June 25th, 2 days ago. All of the press has dead-named her or referred to Brayla as he. Since then, a very transphobic person has gone to instagram bragging about murdering her and flauting the money he was paid to do so.

This is just the beginning of a terrible story of bullying perpetrated by the...2020-06-2323 minQueer All YearJune 22nd, "Ugh, Anita Bryant"Hey everybody! Welcome back for a depressing episode of Queer All Year!Today we talk about the brutal murder of Robert Hillsborough by John Cordova and several friends who had been incited to do so after listening to Anita Bryant's hate-speech. While stabbing Robert 15 times, witnesses heard Cordova scream, "This one's for Anita!" So this is not speculation, they did this for her. We then talk about culpability in hate-speech and what we believe should be considered incitement. She should be in prison.Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!2020-06-2224 minQueer All YearJune 21st, "Texas Gay Conference"Hey everybody!
