520 _a"Ten years ago, a handsome brown-haired 21-year-old named Brandon Teena was raped and later murdered by two men after they discovered Teena wasn't born a man. The tragedy in rural southeastern Nebraska inspired the award-winning 1999 film, 'Boys Don't Cry.'...Now--a decade after the murder on New Year's Eve 1993--hate crime laws in states and municipalities that specifically include transgendered people have increased from nine to 65." (SIOUX CITY JOURNAL) This article looks back on how the death of Brandon Teena inspired a new group of transgendered activists to band together "to demand civil rights and protection for the transgendered community," and examines the progress they have made.
