Transgender Woman In Texas Who Was Beaten By Crowd After Crash Is Shot To Death A Month Later In Case That Was Not Picked Up By The Rainbow Railroad (Video)

May 21. 2019

23-year-old transgender woman Muhlaysia Booker (a man who became a woman) was tragically shot to death this past Saturday in Dallas, Texas. On April 12, 2019, Booker crashed her car into another vehicle. She angrily hopped out of her car and began yelling at the owner of the other vehicle in a parking lot, regarding the crash where Booker was at fault.

29-year-old Edward Thomas and a group of men in the packed parking lot, began beating Booker over the incident, using their fists, feet and bricks. Booker was beaten unconscious. She was taken to the hospital with bone fractures and a concussion. The mayor labeled the incident a hate crime against Booker. Thomas was arrested on April 14, 2019 on assault charges against Booker. Police have stated, “There is nothing to connect Thomas to Booker’s death.” NBC 5 in Dallas reports police do not believe Booker’s death is related to the April 12 road rage incident.

While there are cases of gay people being beaten and tortured in the world, LGBT groups like the Rainbow Railroad (as seen on the CBS News program “60 Minutes”) keeps targeting, defaming and slamming nations, their governments and police, in bids at destroying their names, commerce and tourism, regarding the alleged mistreatment of gays in foreign countries, as seen in exaggerated stories that are without solid proof (hearsay) often from people seeking visas to America and Canada for economic reasons.

While there are cases of gay people being beaten and tortured in the world, LGBT groups like the Rainbow Railroad (as seen on the CBS News program “60 Minutes”) keeps targeting, defaming and slamming nations, their governments and police, in bids at destroying their names, commerce and tourism, regarding the alleged mistreatment of gays in foreign countries, as seen in exaggerated stories that are without solid proof (hearsay) often from people seeking visas to America and Canada for economic reasons. However, Rainbow Railroad, among others, refuses to look at the terrible crimes being committed against transgender people in America. Here are some hard facts, regarding figures which are among the highest in the world:

52 gay people were murdered in America last year for being gay. The murders included shootings, stabbings and mutilations, indicating acts of torture.

238,000 “sexual minorities” (gays) are incarcerated in the United States.

1,300,000 men in America reported non-consensual sex in being “forced to penetrate” someone. A large number of these men are gay. 12% of these rapes have occurred in prison.

According to FBI data “26 in 100,000 gay men reported being victims of hate-motivated crimes against persons, compared to 10 in 100,000 lesbians” in America.

Once again, there are crimes being committed against gays in America and other nations (there are crimes being committed all over the world against man people straight and gay). However, gay groups like Rainbow Railroad, going around publicly trashing and defaming entire countries and governments on television and in print, are out of order and defamatory.

To paint the false picture that entire foreign nations are beating and killing gays is wrong and defamatory. Why is it in all this negative coverage of foreign nations, the Rainbow Railroad has not been helping people like Booker in America. And for the record, I do not agree with violence against anyone. This website does not promote violence.

Gun Violence Against Sexual and Gender Minorities

April 2019 - A review of existing studies finds gun violence is a significant concern for the LGBT population, but there are many unanswered or unexplored questions. Approximately 19 percent, or 1.9 million, LGB adults report having a gun in their home, compared to 35 percent, or 85 million, heterosexual adults...

A new study by scholars at the Williams Institute found that sexual minorities are incarcerated at disproportionately high rates, and once incarcerated they are more likely to experience mistreatment, harsh punishment, and sexual victimization. Approximately 238,000 sexual minorities are incarcerated in the United States. The nationwide incarceration rate of sexual minorities was previously unknown... 

Based on the analysis of large-scale federal agency surveys, men experience a high prevalence of sexual victimization, in many circumstances similar to the prevalence found among women. In one of the studies included in the analysis, the CDC found that an estimated 1.3 million women experienced nonconsensual sex, or rape, in the previous year. Notably, nearly the same number of men also reported nonconsensual sex. In comparison to the large number of women who were raped, nearly 1.3 million men were “made to penetrate” someone else...

Anti-LGBTQ homicides almost doubled in 2017

Published: Jan 23, 2018 10:19 a.m. ET - A new report finds that at least 52 queer people were killed due to their gender identity or sexual orientation last year; political climate blamed. It’s a hard time to be queer. At least 52 LGBTQ individuals were killed because of their sexual orientation or gender identity in 2017, a rise of about 86% from 2016, according to a new report from the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs.

The actual number of victims was likely higher since the report only took into account single homicide incidents, so mass violence events like the 2016 Pulse nightclub massacre weren’t counted. Transgender and lesbian victims were likely also undercounted due to the way law enforcement authorities often report them, LGBTQ advocates say.

The most targeted groups in the community were transgender women and gay, queer or bisexual cisgender men. The former made up 40% of all 52 victims last year, with transgender people of color especially liable to becoming homicide victims. This continues the trend of a years-long increase in violence against trans women. More surprisingly, the NCAVP also saw a sharp increase in crimes committed against queer cisgender men, with 20 homicides in 2017, up from just 4 the year before.

According to the report, most of the gay males were killed during or after hookups, many of them initiated online or via personal ads. “There appears to be a trend of...using [hookup] sites to identify and harm them,” the authors wrote, adding that some homicides stemmed from robberies. Additionally, remnants of the stigma against homosexual sex and hookups could have also led to violence motivated out of shame...
