Since Simmie's death in 2008, Denise King has balanced her grief with the unsolved murder of her openly LGBT child with her desire to make a difference in equal rights for our community, especially LGBT youth.
My husband and I were blessed with being able to know Denise King- a woman who has turned unspeakable tragedy into a call to action.
