Justice is served but too late for Angie and her family.

I hope that they will be able to recover and lead normal lives and remember Angie as she was not as in the trial.

Pray for peace, love and understanding,

Sally

Mia - thank you for keeping us updated and informed. I have posted my opinions on this elsewhere so I don't want to repeat them here. I will say I am encouraged by the outcome - it was speedy and it was just.

Great job! You persoanally helped me to understand the good people in Colorado were outraged with this murder.

Love you

Thank You Colorado, at least some in this world knew what had to be done to bring justice to Angie and her family. I do pray they can find some peace even though the loss is great and sometimes unbearable. Hopefully this helps them somewhat.

When one of our own is killed and the guy gets away with it is even more empty... Angie got justice. For all the good it's worth. The Death of someone so young like that should never happen, it just shows how much work we still need to do.

Last night a gay friend of mine said that Transgender/Transexual People, despite the leaps and bounds GLB receive, are still the Redheaded step-children of the Redheaded stepchildren in the GLBT community for recognition.

While we enjoy more acceptance than we have had before... we still need more. We need more role models publicly raising the acceptance more so this doesn't happen as often. Angie Zapata can only be a Martyr now, like so many others before her...

Let's Raise Awareness to the point where this doesn't happen again... So those of us to come don't have to feel Ashamed of what they are. So Girls Like Angie and before her Gwen and those before her can say "Our Deaths have meaning now." So that We don't have high suicide rates any more.

Aain - I posted a reply in another TOPIC section. I just really have been having some trouble over this whole situation. I am glad the jury took just two hours to deliberate - THAT in itself sends a really good message.

We really do live dangerous lives, we transgended.

I'm so proud of my state. Our governor really came through for us this year. I wish what happened to Angie hadn't happened obviously, but at least the guy got what he deserved.
