New Orleans Church Service Attacked Amid Anti-Transgender Violence

HeadlineMar 13, 2017

In New Orleans, an unknown assailant threw a brick through a stained glass window of the First Unitarian Universalist Church during Sunday morning services. No one was injured by the vandalism, which came less than 48 hours after the church hosted a well-publicized town hall meeting aimed at stopping violence against the transgender community. The meeting followed the recent murders of two black transgender women in New Orleans: 31-year-old Chyna Gibson and 25-year-old Ciara McElveen.
