Queermonton: The best and worst of queer 2008

Here are my picks for the best and worst queer moments of 2008.

Worst: Lawrence King, a 15-year-old from Oxnard, California, is murdered. His alleged killer is a 14-year-old classmate, whose reported motive is the fear caused by King's crush on him. The world mourns a boy who was living out and proud in a still unforgiving society.

Best: A transgender contestant comes to the 11th season of America's Next Top Model. Isis King's story is treated more sensitively than salaciously in mainstream media, marking an important step for trans coverage.
