except the media in general. I asked about gay media only after you mentioned that "some orgs" were talking about this.

The real issue is here is that no one in this forum that has participated in this thread so far had any idea that gays of color were by far the number one victims of violent crime against gays. These are numbers I have NEVER read before and I have read lots of info on crime stats in this country.

Again, thanks.
