From the Angie Zapata memorial that took place last night, comes this video (taken by Autumn Sandeen from Pam’s House Blend) of supporters talking about why they showed up at the memorial.
It’s a moving video, one that speaks of generations of violence and murder and love and tenderness and compassion. I hope we can all be as brave as the people on the video are–people who experience violence and fear, but still have the courage and strength to be vulnerable to love and compassion.

Support and understading are the key to making the hate stop. As a gay latin teenager i have learn that it is important for people to understand the view of the GLBT community through communition. I started the first GLBT support club at my school, so people can be more informed and accept and give respect to people no mater their sexual preference… If everyone would cooperate and be respectful to others the hate can be stop.
