The rally for Ce Ce Acoff in Cleveland that was organized by Zoe Lapin got moved to the steps of Cleveland 's City Hall yesterday on a gorgeous spring day with the trans flag flying from the City hall flag post.
The rally was covered by several news stations who sadly continue to use the mug shot and other unflattering photo of Cemia and misgender her.
In addition to Zoe being one of the speakers for the rally that started at 3 PM EDT, another one was Cleveland City Council member Joe Cimperman, who has called the murder a hate crime..
Cemia lived a trouble life of acceptance,” said Councilmember Cimperman in a
news release
on Wednesday. “While Cemia struggled, she did not deserve to die as
what is likely a hate crime. Too often we lose loved ones because of
fear or hate. Violence should not be tolerated against anyone regardless
of race, gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation.”
If I find any video of the event I'll add it to the post...
