A candlelight vigil was held Monday night in San Francisco for several transgender victims of the Oakland warehouse fire.

Several dozen people gathered at Harvey Milk Plaza at Market and Castro streets to mourn their transgender friends and relatives, most of whose deaths have not yet been confirmed.

Nobody knows exactly how many of their brethren were killed, said the Rev. Megan Rohrer, a transgender Lutheran pastor in San Francisco, because most people in the community use different names from what’s on their birth certificates, which investigators use to identify victims.


So it's not known if there were any trans-gendered victims in the fire but practicing the philosophy of eternal victim hood why wait get out in the street and shout "look at me, look at me".

So they have no idea how many cross dressers, of any at all, but they want to play the victim card to grieve.

Frigging drama queens again.

So, zoning laws, ARE NOT RACISM and are in the best interest of trans gender people as well?

Honestly, who cares?

Just remember, that these people are the same sort of freaks who a week ago were celebrating the death and destruction in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

If they’re intent on being eternal victims all they gotta do is continue to be unrepentant...l

These people couldn't figure out what gender they were, and now we can't figure out if they're dead or not.

I suspect these people actually "died" long before that tragic fire.

I do. To say that there are those who weren't sympathetic to the victims of Gatlinburg does not allow civilized people to follow suit.

The people in this fire are victims of a government that embraces their freedom. Then it is an excuse to look the other way when necessary laws for health and safety are ignored. It's exploitation and who benefits? Contractors and others who benefit from gentrification.

The interview this AM on GMA with the person who rented and managed the building was heart rendering. Matt and his posse were asking him all kinds of questions to blame him. He was trying to explain that his goal was an environment where his peers could have a place to be, made as safe as he knew how.

How does one explain the fire station being a block away yet the building having people living there and coming and going? Could it be that the city was way too satisfied with not having them on the streets demanding appropriate housing?

Do I approve of their lifestyle? Of course not. Do they deserve to die because they're left on their own not getting normal protections afforded most city residents? Of course not.

Just in case. Obviously this has nothing to do with the real or imagined victims. It’s because the T crowd hasn’t been getting any publicity recently. Can’t let the public forget.

To post #6: Amen, but you won’t see a word of that reported in the MSM. After all the nasty things that were said about folks in Tennessee who lost their lives, and everything they owned, I have very little sympathy left for these liberal circus freaks.

More leftist totalitarian culture splitting. All died, some were vanilla and some were strawberry. We think that only the strawberry counts.

History or herstory?

My favorite in this line is the example I saw in Madison WI back in the 1980's. A woman named Stacy Neldaughter had legally changed her name from Stacy Nelson. As a blow against patriarchy.

That was one of the most painful interviews I’ve ever seen. Very difficult to watch.

“”because most people in the community use different names from what’s on their birth certificates, which investigators use to identify victims.””

I don’t think that came out the way it was intended. Never heard of investigators asking for birth certificates to ID victims...

I don’t understand this about being “on the streets demanding appropriate housing” and “not getting normal protections afforded most city residents.” If they want “appropriate housing,” the thing to do is to seek it out and PAY for it, not demand that someone else give it to them. Too expensive? Then move to a less-expensive community. No doubt “most city residents” pay for their own places—places that are required to meet safety codes if their residents are ordinary people (i.e., not the “creative” type). If you’re talking about fire department service, there’s not a lot that even a nearby fire department can do for a dry old wooden building filled with paint and solvents but no sprinklers or smoke detectors.

You just knew that, this being the Bay area, the fag element would somehow enter in.
