TOGETHER WE STAND: Richard and Luis Vieira Rise Above Anti-Gay Attack

TOGETHER WE STAND: Richard and Luis Vieira Rise Above Anti-Gay Attack

by Delena Wilkerson, Publisher

Sun, Aug 22, 2010

The letter I received from Richard Vieira began this way; “I wanted to share something with your magazine readers. It was a bad thing and wrong that happened to me and my husband Luis in the beginning of July. We were the victims of a hate crime here in Staten Island, NY. I suffered some injuries, luckily Luis didn’t." Research shows that people who have not been the victim of a violent crime may have a hard time understanding the impact it has. We're certain your understanding will improve with their stories included here. Yes, Richard and Luis were victimized by so-called thugs, but they are not victims. Not now.

BE MY VALENTINE!!
