I saw the film 'Soldier's Girl' for the first time last night and what a brilliant film it is too but of course it is also sad because of how it plays out. As a gay man I struggle to understand how another human being could be so tormented and fearful of my sexuality that murder becomes an option to free themselves from what is in fact their own internal struggle and self-loathing. Barry Winchell was a courageous young man for following his heart. Calpernia Addams is a courageous woman for being a visible and active voice for trans people.
