    And my mom wonders why I don't ride MARTA...

    It's unbelievable how no one did anything, especially considering Atlanta is one of the most LGBT accepting places in the south. I'm glad MARTA is finally starting to action.

    Warning: the video is pretty graphic. Don't read the comments unless you're prepared rage.

    This is why I believe in women being armed.

    Sexism and racism are never going to cease until they become unsafe for the perpetrators.

    I'm willing to bet all the money left in my wallet that some bigot out there is going to use this article as "proof" of trans women's "masculine energy" and justification for barring them from entering women's only spaces.

    Remember what happened when CeCe McDonald defended herself?

    Watched the whole video...made me sick. And of course people's priorities are to take out their stupid cell phones and record videos instead of helping.

    I'm having trouble watching it on my phone, but... It sounds like a nightmare.

    My issue is that the way it's being reported sounds like it was a group of drunk people who just got pissy with each other. A brawl doesn't describe what this was.

    This was an attack, most definitely, if the description inside the article was completely true.

    Atlanta is the most LGBT accepting city I know, but I've never been outside of the southeast, so that doesn't say much... :frowning2:

    I totally agree. My mother has a gun and I plan on learning how to shoot ASAP.

    That wouldn't surprise me.

    Phil Gingrey has critized the YouthPride organization for "promoting teen homosexuality", when they really provide shelter and counsoling for homeless and suicidal LGBTQ youth. Rush Limbaugh thinks lesbians shouldn't be allowed to have full-time jobs.

    Don't even get me started on Fox News...

    ---------- Post added 26th May 2014 at 05:43 PM ----------

    I became depressed as soon as I heard about this. I gotta stop watching the news... :frowning2:

    I agree. If I was there, I would have jumped up to defend them, or at least called the police.
