Withers: Was Mercado a sex worker? Does it matter?

At last week's New York rally Mercado's alleged sex work was hinted at, but there is a question if it's even true.

"None of Jorge Steven's friends, and I've spoken to many of them, knew anything about his ever having engaged in sex work, not his family, and not the police," said gay activist and Mercado friend Pedro Julio Serrano.

Serrano even called into question the culprit's contention the young man wore a dress.
