Angie Zapata in Greeley, CO
A Greeley transgender woman was apparently murdered this month because a man she met on the Internet became angry when he discovered she was biologically male.
The Weld District Attorney charged Allen Ray Andrade, 32, of Thornton with second-degree murder and aggravated motor vehicle theft Wednesday after Thornton police arrested him on traffic warrants and Greeley police arrested him thereafter on the murder charge. He was picked up while he was in the dead woman's car.
The news came as an incredible relief for Angie Zapata's sister, Monica Zapata.
"I thought they were never going to find him, honestly, I was doubting the police. I was doubting everybody. I just thought he was going to be out there forever," Monica Zapata said in an interview with Fox 31. "But when they called me and they told me I was the first one they called, it lifted away from me — that knot from your throat, like it was not there anymore."
An arrest affidavits shows Andrade told officers he met Angie Zapata on the Internet and they got together in Greeley. When he discovered Zapata was biologically male, he beat her to death with a fire extinguisher.
Zapata, who was born Justin Zapata, was a transgender woman who lived under the name Angie.

Black / White Doll
This video breaks my heart.
The last comment when I found this says:
this is so sad. :( i just wanna cry when i see this......
I feel the same way.
Good Morning America did an update and it seems better now:
A little girl in Kiri Davis' short film,
"A Girl Like Me," chooses the
white doll when asked which one
is better.
(ABC News)
Sixty years and one biracial president later, "GMA" gathered 19 black children, ranging in age from 5 to 9 years old, in Norfolk, Va.Thanks to The View for doing a piece on this and setting me out to find out more about this.
Some of our results differed vastly from those of the original experiment. For example, 88 percent of our children happily identified with the dark-skinned doll.
Forty-two percent of the children wanted to play with the black doll compared to 32 percent for the white doll.
"GMA" then moved on to that question about which doll is nice and which is not. Sixty years ago, 56 percent of the children chose the white doll. The majority of our kids chose black or both and 32 percent chose the white doll.
Sometimes the choice had nothing to do with race.
"The bad doll is on my right because that's just the way it looks at me. It kind of creeps me out with the beady eyes," said 9-year-old Chareese Hicks, a fourth-grade participant who picked the white doll as bad.

Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and Archbishop Niederauer
I love this video and how Fox News' O'Reilly went appeplectic when he discussed this "invasion of transvestites" to a Catholic church in San Francisco.
Read the lips of the guy at 1:36. He did not seem too upset about having the sisters take communion.
October 7, 2007. The Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco is videotapes giving communion to two members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an anti-Catholic group of transvestites that is infamous in San Francisco for pornography, mocking the Church and blaspheming Christ. (from the notes on the YouTupe video.)
Bill O'Reilly of Fox News called it an "unbelievable outrage" and hundreds of angry e-mails poured into the Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco. http://cbs5.com/local/Sisters.of.Perpetual.2.460870.html
Among those in the media who reacted to the situation was Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly, who said on his Oct. 14 broadcast that the men were "gay militants in bizarre dress" whose intent was to mock the Mass and Archbishop Niederauer. http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0705941.htm
The “Sisters” are a group of men who dress up in outlandish outfits and white facial make-up mocking Catholic nuns and adopting blasphemous, sexualized names like “Sister Porn Again” and “Sister Roz Erection.” Their motto is “Go forth and sin some more!” While the group is detested by orthodox Catholics as epitomizing homosexual activists’ perverted anti-Catholic and anti-Christian bigotry, it is respected in San Francisco as a charity group that raises funds for causes like AIDS. http://americansfortruth.com/news/more-san-francisco-nuttiness-catholic-archbishop-gives-communion-to-sisters-of-perpetual-indulgence.html
