Thank you for helping to raise awareness of TIQ issues.
Its a shame and I have been guilty of doing it and that is forgetting about our Transsexual sisters. As a Gay male that is what I considered the LGBT Community to be. Gay and Lesbian. I did not do this on purpose but thats how sometimes closed minded people can be.
Unfortunately for me to even take up the fight for all LGBT Community rights is to read the story of Twila Johnson from Memphis Tenn. .. Rip Twila... Your not forgotten. One of the main reasons Sheila Putang was created was you !
