"We have to work on this from the ground up. We can't just solve the violence, we have to solve the discrimination, We have to make our society better. We have to make it a community again, where gun violence isn't okay, where lack of respect for people isn't okay. If it's okay to tell a black joke, it's okay to tell a man-in-a-dress joke. If it's okay to attack an Arab because of some stupid connection to 9/11, it's okay to attack somebody for being Irish or whatever. If it's okay to murder a young Latina transgender woman, it's okay to murder you and me and anyone else." -- Mara Keisling, of the National Center for Transgender Equality, quoted in The Washington Post 2003-11-29.
