31.10.17
Transgender woman remembered for enjoying life, dancing: [caller.com] Medical examiners said Montes had been shot in the chest, abdomen and a shoulder.
Because of the believed homicide of Montes, Corpus Christi LGBT and Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays Corpus Christi Chapter has organized a "Trans Rights Rally," PFLAG Corpus Christi president Kathy Huff said.
It will be at 2 p.m. Nov. 4 outside the federal courthouse in Corpus Christi.
The event is intended to draw attention to recent violence aimed at the LGBT community.
On Sept. 28, Ally Steinfeld, born Joseph Matthew Steinfeld, was murdered near a mobile home in southern Missouri, USA Today reported. Steinfeld's death marked the 21st time a transgender person had been murdered in the United States in 2017.
"(The rally is) to bring awareness to fact that we're not covered under hate crime laws or anti-discrimination laws," Huff said. "I'm so overwhelmed with getting this stuff done for Stephanie to make sure that she gets the dignity she deserves."
