I think everyone deserves a decent burial. This the least people could give to those who have departed.

I have been the director of a few places and what always has to happen is that someone finds out if something is working or not, money has been given and what can be done to rectify a situation. Getting staff donations doesn't fix this. I support your work to bring this to the forefront to make sure someone has a consciousness about this horrible disrespect ehaped on a hero of our movement.

This is the first I've even heard of this! I can't understand what rock I've been living under... It is unexcusable. My heart goes out to the family. My anger lies in state with Lambda Legal for letting this happen. WTF? Oh My God, Terrance!
