There was a national outcry over Matthew Shepard. I wrote an earlier piece where I pointed that out. When 25K people can show up for a Marriage Amendment but we heard crickets over a Black/Brown person being murdered or railroaded by the system (Michael Shandy, Sakia Gunn, the NJ 7) I think it speaks volumes about who sets and agenda and who decides what the "priorities" are.Faith at Acts of Faith Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150553143062604249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-57968826152766305652008-11-12T04:25:00.000-08:002008-11-12T04:25:00.000-08:00Jasmyne Carrick, a black lesbian, has been out the...Jasmyne Carrick, a black lesbian, has been out there organizing on this.
