Today is the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT).   It's a day set aside to focus international attention about the problems of homophobia and transphobia and get concerted action taken to deal with those problems.


Just yesterday two young women were indicted on hate crimes charges because of transphobia.    For a brief moment of their life they let hatred of an individual transperson overcome them to the point that they viciously attacked her for living her life, and will probably pay for that misguided error in judgment by spending a few years in jail for the assault they perpetrated upon her.
