Family of slain teen request posthumous name change.
I've never understood that. Oh, not the "we want to change her name to the one she went by", that's simple and really shouldn't require this much thought, but why on earth anybody would beat somebody up because *gasp* they were born male and now consider themselves female. Is it that big a deal? Actually, there's a lot of things I don't understand. I don't understand why people beat up on gay people (that's a waste of time, really... what'd they ever do to you?) and I don't understand why people use racial slurs (or any slurs), and I don't understand... well, I think you get the point. So I'm just going to post this and then be quiet.
