Today I have learned that Jamison Green and Donna Rose both have resigned from the Business council of HRC.  This is good news. 
For myself I feel the need to let everyone know not to support HRC in anyway.  They have showed their true colors when it comes to trans inclusion.  According to HRC it is not our turn to get civil rights.  How dare they say that when it was the trans community that started the ball rolling with the Stonewall riots back in 69.

Help Solve a Murder

Triangle’s Department of Victim Services received more than 50 calls in September. While they are taking new client cases daily, this 2003 murder of a transgender woman remains unsolved — can you help?

Nikki Nicholas, born Anthony Lionell Nicholas, was found murdered on February 21, 2003. Her body was discovered in an abandoned farmhouse adjacent to the Hershey Creamery between M-36 and Spicer Road in Green Oak Township. The cause of death was a gunshot wound.
Many people think Nikki was murdered because she was transgender. Police have stated that there is a “person of interest” that they have interviewed, but say they need more information to continue their investigation.
If you have any information please contact Melissa Pope, Director of Victim Services at Triangle Foundation at 313-537-7000, ext. 112, or: melissa@tri.org
