Since the birth of cancel culture and the perceived power of the alphabet community (LGBTQ+), there is no truth to power. For the past decade we have heard every ridiculous argument as well as watched people cave to the demands of said community.
So, if equality is all that is desired by this community, then why not afford equality on all levels?
In the month of November 2022 alone, it was reported that four African American lesbians who identify as “studs” (lesbian women who present themselves as masculine/male) murdered their respective significant others over domestic issues.
Do any of the following names ring a bell?
- Brianna Williams, who in November of 2022 was arrested for placing a gun to her girlfriend’s head and fatally shooting her following a domestic dispute.
- Shakyia Perkins, who in November of 2022 was arrested for murdering her girlfriend in front of the victim’s son after the victim wanted to leave Perkins. The suspect was arrested four previous times for domestic violence in 2021, but was able to bond out on her cases.
- Dominique Hardwick, who took her own life following a police chase in Detroit in November of 2022, with police discovering Hardwick’s girlfriend dead inside of the trunk of Hardwick’s vehicle.
- Tiffani Gatson, who was a Greece PD officer at the time, fatally shot her girlfriend in November of 2022 as well as non-fatally shooting the victim’s sister amid a domestic dispute. Gatson turned the gun on herself following the incident.
What I find troubling is the so-called news outlets who are not reporting this the way they would if these weren’t members of the gay community. Think about it, there were just mere blips of these offenses on local outlets, but hardly a shred of anything on the national front – and one of the cases involved a police officer, something that the mainstream media typically jumps at the opportunity to cover.
If the scenarios involved four Black men being accused murderers of four women, we would have heard a great deal about it courtesy of the mainstream media.
Not to mention, some of the commentary on social media regarding these cases is quite disturbing (i.e., “These girls better stop playing with these Stud’s emotions,” as one person wrote). So, let me try to digest this; it is somehow the victim’s fault? What if these perpetrators were men…would a statement like that even be made? We will always have jokes made in poor taste, but the joke of the decade is the news coverage when dealing with members of the alphabet community, especially transsexuals or those lateral to them.
When Audrey Hale committed the mass shooting in March, the media reported that the shooter was transgender…after it was leaked. Details of certain things in the manifesto still have yet to be released. When the media has the chance to falsely report or represent something to serve their best interests, who do we listen to? Another example is the recent Philadelphia mass shooting, where the truth gets lost in political points being scored for different ideologies.
If a person has mental health issues, I believe it should be reported accurately. I want equal rights across the board. Furthermore, I would like to extend my condolences to the families of the four victims murdered by their girlfriends.
No matter what your stance is or your beliefs, I am asking you to be honest. If four members of the gay community had been murdered by four heterosexuals in a month’s time, there would be news coverage and protests for prosecution, there would be members organizing rallies, and appearing on every talk show demanding justice. So why is it different because the alleged murderers belong to the gay community? Don’t the lives of the victims matter just the same, even if the assailants harbor different proclivities?
My message to the mainstream media is this: please cover crimes committed by the gay and transgender community the way you’d cover crimes committed against the gay and transgender community. I believe that is exactly what they want…equality.

Well written and well spoken my brother. For me the main two points to focus on that you brought up is, first the fact that in one case it evolved a police officer. Especially since the height of George Floyd, mainstream media seeks out cases involving police officers. Also one point you brought up, had this been 4 black men who murdered 4 black women or 4 heterosexuals who murdered 4 homosexuals the amount of hashtags you would’ve seen across social media platforms would’ve been staggering. The alphabet community wields an alarming amount of power when it comes to cancel culture and “Justice”. It’s everything but equal.
