"I was absolutely horrified, but sadly not surprised, to read about the treatment of Lashai Mclean at her own funeral.  The article "Mass Walk-Out at Trans Woman's Funeral" discusses how the minister presiding over the funeral engaged in victim-blaming and typical religious fundamentalism about "the wages of sin" to effectively dishonor and disrespect the memory of a trans woman who had been viciously murdered in a probable hate crime.  At her OWN FUNERAL."
