Sad: Winter 2010 Intelligence Report: Under Attack: Statistics Reflect Grim Reality: Gays

[Mike 03]

Remain the Most Targeted Minority in America.

This is issue 140, and I have not had time to read it all yet, but it is evidence that things are not good for Gay and Lesbian and Transgender friends in America right now. I am guessing that many people, like me, were under the mistaken belief that other minorities were more persecuted right now than GLTG, but obviously we were wrong, and this is a crisis we need to address.

This news is so shocking, so sad, and so tiresome. My heart just goes out to anyone who is Gay or Lesbian and continues to encouter these prejudices. It is so unbelievable to me that we are still at this point. But things will change, I promise.

The Intelligence Report is published by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
