Summon That Same Righteous Anger For Black Transpeople Being Mistreated At Home

"It is often easier to become outraged by injustice half a world away than by oppression and discrimination half a block from home."

When I read that quote from the distinguished journalist Carl T. Rowan, I thought about the recent situation involving Malawi's Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza.

People in the States and around the world mobilized to protest the outrage of throwing people in jail simply for who they chose to love. President Obama and other people around the world and across the African diaspora commented on it.
