A Black lesbian was fatally shot by a gun-wielding homophobe last night in a suburb of Austin. It is a horrifying commentary on this moment in time that her partner and father have already been in contact with the media about this, because as a dual-marginalized person *her loved ones have probably thought about what to say if she is murdered.*. This is not what freedom looks like.

Austin was supposed to be a safe place to be gay. It was supposed to be a safe place to gas up your car.

Rest in power, #AkiraRoss
