Five years Ago today a young girl was getting ready to go to a party. She was just seventeen years old. She wore her Mother's peasant blue blouse, but it was the last time she'd ever see her Mother.
She went to this party, and it was discovered, by force, that this girl was born with the most painful birth defect of all: A male body.
This girl was beaten, horribly. She was strangled. She died that night before ever even seeing the age of 18. Today she would be 22 years old, a beautiful girl with a loving family. But now, she's gone, because of ignorance and bigotry.
Five years ago today Gwen Amber Rose Araujo was killed. if you pray, then pray for her on this night that she suffered so much.
I ask of you not to comment if you have anything mean to say. in fact, I'd appreciate it if no one commented at all, just read it and think on it. That was my whole purpose of writing it.
