Hatred in Allston

adamg — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 11:28:18 -0500

Chris Mason reports on Thursday night's Boston Transgender Day of Remembrance in Allston, which included a candlelit remembrance outside the former Union Square apartment of Rita Hester, murdered 10 years ago this month:

... Just a few feet from Rita's old home, where we had just placed a candle, a young man opened the window of his 3rd floor apartment. Curious about all the people walking by with candles, he called out, "what is this about?"

Someone answered him, "transgendered victims."

He paused and then said, "fuck that!" and closed the window. One of the participants respond, "fuck you."

A few seconds later he opened the window again, stuck his head out, and yelled, "You mother fucking transsexuals, get the fuck out of my neighborhood!" ...

Jim posted video from the vigil.
