QuoteAngie Zapata was just 18 when she was brutally murdered because of her gender identity.  According to the New York Times ("Death of Transgender Woman is Called a Hate Crime", Saturday, August 28, 2008) there has been a 24 percent increase in the number of violent incidents against gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender people.  Angie's story is all too familiar to anyone working with homeless or disenfranchised youth.
