New York – In response to the tragic murder of Lateisha Green earlier this month, the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund today called on New York State lawmakers in Albany to pass the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act [GENDA], which would add gender identity and expression to the states hate crimes law.
This plea comes after Dwight R. DeLee, 20, allegedly shot and killed Green, 22, a transgender woman, outside a house party in Syracuse on Nov. 14 because he thought she was gay.
