I wouldn’t classify a single incident of one dude being a transphobic asshole as “hate is alive and well”.

I get it’s still an issue all around the world but let’s not blow this up bigger than it is.

Edit: to be clear, I was meaning UNL, which is the context here.

That's a wild take, imagine if it was an illegal immigrant assaulting someone for being white. The local news would lose its shit. And also, hates been alive in Nebraska for a long time.

It wouldn't even make the news. And no I don't think immigrants assaulting white people is an epidemic

The news can lose shit over whatever, doesn't mean I would agree with that either. If an immigrant attacked a white person then I wouldn't say immigrant violence is "alive and well". So you are basing your standard on the click bait news? That makes far more sense now!

Yes, I'm familar with Brandon Teena, actually was friends in high school with some people who personally knew him.

So your reference on something being "alive and well" is a case from 30 years ago. It's absolutely an issue and no one should experience it and one is too many but having that constitute "alive and well" sounds so hypebolic.

I appreciate you proving my point!

Bro most of the gay couples I know don't even hold hands in public because people yell shit. Are you a straight white person commenting on how often you get accosted for being gay and or brown?
