New York City’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community is standing with the Puerto Rican community to demand that the rash of anti-gay and transgender murders in Puerto Rico be properly investigated and covered by the media.
Since 2002, 25 gay and transgender people have been murdered in Puerto Rico – six of these murders occurred since last November. Most of these crimes were not investigated by the local authorities as hate crimes and very few have received media coverage.
