All He Wanted: "BRANDON TEENA" A Transgender Boy Who Paid The Ultimate Price

This is the unadulterated account of the transgender hate crime perpetrated against Brandon Teena, a true story that later inspired the Academy Award Winning film, Boys Don't Cry. Brandon Teena, who lived as a transgender male in rural Nebraska, had fled from his family in Lincoln and was finally living as his true self in the small town of Falls City, where he found instant love with the beautiful Lana Tisdel. His love-affair would end when he was forced to reveal his female body parts to one of Lana's ex-boyfriends, after which he was brutally raped. On December 31, 1993, Brandon and two of his friends became the victims of a triple homicide, which at the time, was not considered a hate crime by clueless law enforcement. Long before the word transgender was a part of the American vocabulary, this savage hate crime helped ignite the transgender activist movement in America.
