Evenings Out

With the spirits of both male and female

by Anthony Glassman

Ten years ago, a horrible crime was committed in Cortez, Colorado. A 16-year-old was brutally beaten and left to die in the desert; his body was not found for five days.

He was described as gay. He was described as transgendered. He was Fred Martinez, and to his mother, he was nádleehí, the Navajo word for a two-spirit man.

His story is now the subject of a documentary by Lydia Nibley called, appropriately, Two Spirits, out on DVD and coming to PBS' Independent Lens series in June.
