Now, I could point out that I'm a trans person, and I focus on trans issues and I work on trans stuff and I talk about trans things, but here's the bottom line: Phoenicians are not only not tied into the larger issues of the LGBT communty, they aren't even tied into their own.
And that's got to change. Now.
There are H.E.R.O. members here all over the place. And when you talk to them you hear stories about how at one time they had the same issues in their communities -- communities which are, on a day to day basis, far worse than anything we might face in Mesa or Peoria or Phoenix, in terms of sheer number of people who are being discriminatory.
