So here goes. What does 'winning our equality' mean to me?
To me 'winning our equality' means GLBT rights that are codified into federal law with severe financial penalties or jail time for violations of them.
It means to me full integration of TBLG peeps into society with a constitutional ban on using referendums to take away people's civil rights.
It means to me the senseless murders of trans people being prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If hate crimes statutes are applicable, then prosecutors do so without hesitation.
