Sometimes as a gay man living near San Francisco I forget that hate crimes against my fellow brothers and sisters still go on but they do. Today I found a web page

http://www.gayamericanheroes.net/index.html

The Gay American Heroes is a memorial that is being put together to honor those that have giving there life for being nothing more then who god wanted them to be. Most of these hate crimes are spoken so little in the news that most people believe that no one has lots there life since Mathew Shepad but it is still going on. The following happened in 2007

Ryan Keith Skipper, 25, was brutally
stabbed twenty times and his body was
dumped by the side of the road in Winter
Haven, Florida in March of 2007. His killers
drove around in his blood-soaked car,
bragging how they had killed a “faggot”.

Satendar Singh, 26, died as a result of head
injuries received during an attack in
Sacramento, California in July of 2007.

Michael Sandy, 28, was struck by a car,
sustaining massive head injuries, as he ran
from his attackers in New York.

Sean W. Kennedy, 20, fell after he was
punched and hit his head on the pavement,
causing his brain to be separated from the
brain stem in South Carolina in 2007.

All people who live honestly about their sexual orientation or gender
identity are heroic, as it takes great strength and courage to face the
daily struggles for personal freedom in the face of enormous opposition;
to ultimately give their life for said freedom makes them– HEROES.

If you have time you should go out and look at the web page even if you can not donate money don’t let the go unremembered because we are all lucky that it is not are name on the list.
