On December 13th, a twenty-eight-year-old California woman was brutally raped by four men because she is a lesbian and had a rainbow sticker on her car. See the story at SFGate.

If I could help financially I would, but being one of the people that isn't working I may be the one with my hand out soon. You know how I feel about this subject since it to had happen to me and never wish this even on my worst enemy. I am sorry, I wish I could be there to console her.
I don't have much cash, but will put together something. I hope she has a partner or loving family to help see her through this!
I can post something on my blogs and try to raise some $$$ at work...
I am crying my eyes out.
This is so sad......we must wake up as a society and end the violence. I am mailing her a card today.
I myslef have lil funds to donate. However, I am trying to put togther a local card making day in which we will make cards and send them to the victim. I will be asking for a $5 dollar door charge. Let's get creative to show our support!
Where is the public outrage? I haven't seen this story much in the TV News nationally... except online. What a disgrace this hate crime is -- California is sinking to new lows lately. My heart goes out to this woman. Thank God she's alive.
