Update: Brooklyn Victim of Hate Crime Dies

This makes me so angry I could spit. I feel for this man and his family. Rest in peace Michael.

That this happened in New York City should be absurd. Alas, it was only in June that another gay man was the victim of a hate crime in THE EAST VILLAGE! Homophobia lives large. We need to live larger.

Pam reports that there is going to be a rally at City Hall on Monday:

Black LGBT organizers and activists vowed to hold a rally on Monday to demand an end to hate violence in the city and to hold city leaders accountable. The rally is scheduled to take place at 5 p.m. on Monday at New York City Hall. The rally is being sponsored by People of Color In Crisis, the New York State Black Gay Network, Gay Men of African Descent, the New York City Anti-Violence Project and the National Black Justice Coalition.
