MUST READ!!! GUARDIAN EXPOSÉ REVEALS DIVIDED KANSAS CITY LGBT COMMUNITY AND DEADLY HATE CRIME SUSPICION!!!



A sprawling exposé in The Guardian reveals a litany of tough questions surrounding a recent Kansas City homicide that many are calling a hate crime. Remember that we talked about this incident earlier in November.

The article is groundbreaking because it reveals racial and class differences within Kansas City's LGBT community and then goes on to examine the effort to consider this tragic murder a hate crime.

Here's a passage that seems to sum up the case:

"In a slowly increasing trend for American law enforcement, the Kansas City police department recently appointed its first LGBT liaison, Rebecca Caster, an affable, blond-haired, out-lesbian cop who’s proud to work for a “very progressive” city “that is willing to push the envelope and create change”. There have been no charges or arrests yet in the Greene case – the homicide investigation is very much still active – but Officer Caster still doesn’t necessarily see circumstances like the ones alleged by Greene’s friends: a hate-based sexual killing, spontaneous murder driven by identity politics as much as rage. Several of these friends have been interviewed by the cops, too, but the cops still won’t – can’t – call Greene’s killing a hate crime."
