Ohio Murder Shines National Spotlight On LGBT Violence: Kendall L. Hampton, a 26-year-old gender non-conforming person, was found dead in Cincinnati late Saturday night.


The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs is calling attention to the fatal shooting of Kendall L. Hampton, a gender non-conforming person who had allegedly engaged in acts of sex work.
The 26-year-old victim was discovered in the parking lot of a Cincinatti convenience store last Saturday, reported FOX19. Hampton was pronounced dead later that night at the city’s University Hospital. Police are currently searching for the gunman.
The NCAVP, along with the Buckeye Region Anti-Violence Organization, is working to determine if gender identity or race were motivators in the crime. Apart from Hampton, the organization has learned of the murders of eight people this year who identified as transgender or were gender non-conforming.
According to a recent report by NCAVP, 87% of the 30 reported hate murder victims in 2011 were LGBT people of color. The organization encourages those affected by violence to contact their nearest anti-violence program, which may be found on its website.
To contact police regarding Kendall Jackson, call (513) 352-3040.



This makes me so angry and sick to my stomach. 
We need LGBT folks to fucking get trained in weapons—this means knives and guns—and in unarmed self-defense techniques. This is a war.

meanwhile a shitstorm over pussy riot’s mofucking 2 years in prison. as tpoc (particularly black trans women) are DYING. not here for it. you can call it training violence, i’ll call it teaching survival.

i want us to say it like it is though - the majority of hate crimes that we have been hearing about for the past few years have been targeted at trans women and/or trans gender non conforming MAAB of color. say it like it is.
