I had a small role in responding to the aftermath of his horrendous injuries... That will never leave me....

--was tortured and murdered near Laramie, Wyoming in October 1998. He was attacked on the night of October 6–7, and died at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado, on October 12 from severe head injuries.

During the trial, it was widely reported that Shepard was targeted because he was gay.[1] Shepard's murder brought national and international attention to hate crime legislation at the state and federal levels.[2] t

And thats not counting the one's we don't know about.

Murdered July, 2011

No one has been charged in her death. Two weeks after Mclean’s death another transgender woman was approached by a man and shot without provocation. A memorial at the site of Mclean’s death, 61st and Dix Street Northeast, was burned months later.

Murderous rampage of gay-hate gangs
Has Sydney overlooked an 'epidemic' of up to 80 murders motivated by the hatred of gay men? Rick Feneley investigates.

David McMahon is the gay man who got away. He will never forget the summer's night when a teenage gang ambushed and bashed him and dragged him to a Bondi cliff where their leader told him: ''I'm gunna throw you over the side.''

In December 1989, the 24-year-old McMahon managed to escape and outrun his assailants among a mob of about 18 teenagers. They included four girls cheering on the boys.

Other men did not get away from murderous gangs on the same cliff-top path. These cases have been widely publicised and were part of a wave of ''poofter bashings'' in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

But NSW did not experience a mere wave of gay-hate crimes. ''It was an epidemic,'' says Sue Thompson, a lawyer and the former NSW Police Force gay liaison co-ordinator. The epidemic extended to the Manly cliff-tops and the northern beaches and regional NSW, and might add up to almost 80 murders....

God Speed, I remember many who didn't die and just suffered their "Gay knocks" with no justice. except the poet Jimmie Gutierrez, who caught a couple of strait boys pushing a young Gay kid around,on 18th &Castro yet. he promptly beat the shit out of straity,while the forming crowd kept #2 thug at bay, All the time Jimmie was saying"how does it feel getting beat up by a faggot?", and the like. It made my night humming "My Boyfriend's Back" Ah Jimmie,I hope you see Allen where you are.

When I was doored off my bicycle in what was highly suspected as an anti-gay crime. Reason being I kept having drive by "Faggot" yelled at my home, then the same spray painted on it, within a couple months of this happening.
I cannot identify my attackers. It came unexpectedly, so suddenly, and I was too dazed only to realized I was being repeatedly kicked in the head. It took a sort of hypnosis and drug enhanced therapy to recall what I could at a University PTSD study I participated in: but during that EMDR-like sessions I realized that I had been kicked in the head something on the order of 100 times by my attackers, I could smell strong whiskey and they were laughing and making homophobic comments.
I'm a radiologic technologist with over 20 years experience in CT and Xray. Unfortunately I have limitations to my physical ability to perform my chosen profession, due to pinched nerves in my neck. Insurance companies have rejected me for all plans. I have taken what Xray assignments I can. I'm fortunate not to have lost most of my cognitive abilities, but I'm not who I was before this occurence, by any long shot. I can no longer ride a bicycle or a motorcycle due to chronic dizziness. I've had dozens of chronic ear infections since. My right eye still has a partially detached retina. I've been opiate free for 6 months now, but still have some days I have trouble with old fractures.
I am documented TBI case now basically multiple post concussive syndrome. I still want to work, and live much like I did before this happened but it is very difficult. I have difficulty sometimes forming sentences verbally in proper syntax, and have to go kind of slowly at this. I refuse to become dependent on SSDI though, because I still don't really have a home. I sold the house there in Arizona, still have some ranch property in Radiator Springs! But this fucked up all my plans for building a home there. Its still a campout. I've finally paid off over 10,000 dollars worth of debt this attack caused me. State of Arizona refused me victims of crime compensation. (R) bastards.
I'm living on the edge of homelessness still, hoping I can pick up work soon. Only a few places have been understanding of my limitations, however, which are not severe, but ever present. I'm hoping to go back to one of the best jobs I've had, but things aren't as lucrative for rad techs as they were years ago.
In 9 days from now I go back to the ranch for a while, then off to El Centro hot springs to stay warm for the winter. Caleb and I will be living in a tent there till I can pick up work again.

on the street in Houston, TX. His partner couldn't ride with him to the hospital, and everyone just stood around in shock.

We never knew what happened, because the family sealed off all contact, blamed his friends for the incident, and that was that.



I can't imagine how bad it was for him to wake up impaired and with no one he knew or cared about around him, cut off from all of his friends.

I regret that I didn't try harder to get in touch with him to this day.

as much as anyone else does, and I will regret that to my dying day.

It's a cruel, bitter tragedy that everyone isn't able to find such a place in the world before it's too late. The excerpted quote is just absolutely heartbreaking. No words.

Seventeen-year-old Roşin Çiçek, beaten and shot to death by his father and uncles in 2012, just for being gay.

and I can't even name the victim of violence because my girlfriend and my friends forced me away. It happened on Montrose Ave in Houston, and a gay man was nearly beaten to death. One of my other friends got punched, but as a crowd we got dragged away.

It is unspeakable how you feel when you see a person get the stew beaten out of them. For no other reason than being themselves and having an opinion. A part of me died that day, and I am thankful for the friend that held me back because I was ready to dive in ... and probably would have gotten the shit beaten out of me, too.

Which makes me a coward, I guess, but I couldn't because I was unable to do anything.

Also Pasha whose last name I do not know
Also others.....

Chilean man dies after alleged anti-gay attack

A Chilean man who had been in a coma for nearly six months after a group of men allegedly attacked him because he was gay died on Sunday.

Wladimir Sepúlveda passed away at a hospital in Rancagua, a city that is roughly 55 miles south of Santiago, the Chilean capital.

The 21-year-old had been in a vegetative state after a group of six men attacked him last October in the nearby town of San Francisco de Mostazal. The Movement for Homosexual Integration and Liberation, a Chilean LGBT advocacy group, said Sepúlveda’s assailants shouted anti-gay slurs at him as they kicked him and punched him in the head.

“The death of Wladimir Sepúlveda, who spent months fighting for his life, is a painful and sad moment,” said Álvaro Elizalde, spokesperson for President Michelle Bachelet, in a statement late on Sunday. “On behalf of the government I want to express my condolences through an embrace of solidarity with his relatives.” ....

There was a gay guy some years ago that was beaten to death by an Army guy in Independence, MO. I just don't remember his name.

Yaz’min Shancez, of Fort Myers, Florida a transgender woman whose burned body was found behind a garbage bin on June 19, 2014.

Mollie Olgin, 19, and Mary Kristene Chapa, 18, were shot and sexually assaulted in a Texas park on June 23, 2012. The two were bound and shot execution style. Mollie was killed. Birdwatchers found the pair the next morning and rescued Mary Kristene, who was left with lifelong disabilities from being shot in the head.

24-year-old Arron Keahey was brutally assaulted by 19 year Brice Johnson. Keahey was hospitalized for 10 days in Fort Worth and was diagnosed and treated for multiple skull and facial fractures. The investigation revealed that on the night of the incident, Johnson saved Keahey’s cell phone number using a gay slur as a contact name, and Johnson later stated that he was playing a prank on the victim because of his sexual orientation, again using a gay slur when referring to Keahey.

Abdulla Ghavami Chahzanjiru and Salman Ghanbari Chahzanjiri were killed on 6 August, 2014, according to at least one report, for ‘consensual sodomy’.

Young lesbian Gift Makau, 18, was found dead in Tshing location, August, 2014. She had been raped and strangled with wire and a shoelace and a hosepipe had been shoved into her mouth.

A gay man named Bryan Higgins, known to friends and family as Feather Lynn, was brutally attacked over the weekend in the Castro District of San Francisco. A part of the city’s radical faerie community, Feather’s body was discovered early Sunday morning, unconscious and lacking any identifying belongings. However, after police sought help from the community in identifying the man, a family member came forward and identified Feather.
Bryan died shortly after being taken off life support.

I know it's technically a suicide and not murder by someone else, but transphobia -- mainly from her "parents" -- led to her death.

May she rest in peace.
