"A gay transgender inmate transitioning into a woman was repeatedly raped by a Rikers Island correction officer and jail officials did nothing to stop it, a new suit charges.

The inmate, identified in court papers only as M.T., was assaulted on Dec. 2, 2012 by Correction Officer L. Galan after months of harassment, a new Manhattan Federal Court suit charges.

"Galan stated that Plaintiff 'could do this the easy way or the hard way,' " papers charge. "Plaintiff did not feel that (she) could walk away or call out for help."

WTF?  I would love to shove my foot so far up the rectum of this so-called "journalist" who wrote this hack job of an article that it kicks out most of his teeth.

"Gay"?  Are you kidding me?  A) If she likes men, she is straight.  B) If she likes women, she is a lesbian. C) (and most importantly) Her sexuality is absolutely irrelevant when she is the one being raped.  D) I got the vibe of "Gee, you know who we should hate more than regular transgenders?  The gay ones."

And as always, don't read the comments.  This article clearly served its purpose- hate bait.

BTW- who is the bigger criminal here, the thief or the rapist?

FU, Daily news.  FU very much.
