Pretty When You Cry

Sacramento Radio Hosts Encourage Violence Against Transgender Children

 

I almost threw up when I read this.

 

I just... I think of the posts I made yesterday and I just want to laugh. Just laugh incredibly bitterly.

The article is saddening, but what's most sickening is the amount of people defending what those DJs said in the comments below. Apparently they claimed they were joking, and anyone who doesn't listen to the show regularly wouldn't understand and have taken what they've said out of context.

Context or no, "joking" about parents beating a confused, defenseless child for something they didn't ask for and can't help is just as awful as being serious.

Oh, god. Thank god I didn't read the comments.

Hate speech? It's not funny and it's not a joke and frankly, I hope someone presses charges.
