New Orleans Church Service Attacked Amid Anti-Transgender Violence
------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Mc
Elveen.
