Transgender Teen Angie Zapata Murdered In Colorado

On the same day that People magazine debuted photographs of transgendered dad Thomas Beatie and his daughter Susan Juliette, at least 200 people gathered at a church in Brighton, Colorado to mourn the murder of transgendered 18 year-old Angie Zapata. Zapata was found by her sister, beaten to death, in her Greeley, Co apartment last week. Her family believes she was murdered because she was living as a woman. Police say they don’t have enough evidence yet to declare it a hate crime, but are not ruling it out.
