Press Release - Sean's Last Wish

I want readers to see this evening's press release from Sean's Last Wish. It has often been said the battle for human dignity will be won in the court of public opinion. There is truth in this, but for justice to be served in the here and now, the meaning of personal responsibility must be learned.

A message must also be sent that violence is not an acceptable reaction to hatred of someone perceived as different. We speak of hate crimes and know it's not about the transgender community or even the LGBT community as a whole. It's about anyone who is judged for no other reason than who they are. Any of us could be a name to be read during the Transgender Day of Remembrance or The National Day of Silence this coming year.

If there is to be change, it will begin with us searching our own heart. Nothing else is more important.

I earnestly encourage anyone who feels led, to send a letter to the SC Parole Board as quickly as possible. It must happen before January 23rd.
