This is for the woman in Lincoln, NE who was brutally attacked in her own home yesterday by 3 men, simply because she's a lesbian. Were it not for the failed attempt at setting her house on fire (they created only a flash fire from the gasoline vapors that did not continue to burn), this candle would be burning in her memory.

But even though she escaped death, the scars from the cuts and the homophobic slurs that were carved into her body will be a painful reminder of a crime based on hate .... and fear.

All of the recent violence against lesbians recently is frightening; so this candle is also for other sisters' lives lost and shattered.

Here is a link to an article about the incident.

This is a pic of what the men painted in the woman's basement, as taken by her friend:

These are pics of a candlelight vigil held in Lincoln, NE last night:
