Today is the anniversary of the brutal killings of transteens Stephanie Thomas and Ukea Davis.

They were best friends who did everything together. They were extremely close, transitioned at the same time after meeting at a local Washington organization for GLBT teens called SMYAL. They transitioned together and shared an apartment.

They only thing that I could say is what the writer said. 

QuoteRest in peace ladies. we will not rest until all transpeople are free to openly live their lives without the threat of violence hovering in the background.
