#LoveAndHateCrime Premiere

A must see docu-series!! And a discussion that must be held across the nation as hate crimes against many members of society, especially LGBTQ members are unreported and/or under-reported.

We were very fortunate to attend a screening premiere in #NYC at The Paley Center for Media, especially given historic icons still walking among us PLUS civic leaders fighting hate daily were part of the panel and at the event.

The premiere of the three-part documentary series “Love & Hate Crime”. The series is about hate crimes in the United States told through murders with elements of love and passion as well as prejudice.

The first episode tells the story of Mercedes Williamson, a transgender teen who was murdered in rural Mississippi by her gang member “boyfriend”, someone trained to kill LGBT as part of his gang membership. This was the first case prosecuted under the Hate Crimes Prevention Act involving a transgender victim.

Love & Hate Crime will air on the Investigation Discovery channel at end of the month, but you’ll have a chance to catch a sneak peak of the first episode and hear a panel discussion that I will be on along with Ben Steele, the director of the series, and Margaret Baker, a crime reporter for the Sun Herald.
