When he refused to "confess" to being lesbian, he was handed over to a crowd. Gasoline was poured on him as he was marched to a bonfire. Moments before what would have been Pearl’s murder, his father arrived, saving him. However, fatherly love did not extend to accepting Pearl’s gender identity. The "cure" lay in prayer, it was decided. Pearl was sent to a prayer camp. He eventually escaped the camp and a father who would never accept him. Today he’s an activist for transgender rights. June, Pride month, marks the anniversary of the Stonewall riots of 1969, which changed “gay rights” in the U.S. and beyond. Transgender people of color were at the forefront of the riots. Around the world, they are still fighting literally for their lives. #BlackTransLivesMatter. For more stories of survival go to @whereloveisillegal.」6月17日 0時30分
