For those of you who were on the scene in New York or Boston in the 90s/early 00s, you may have known either Gabrielle or Chanelle Pickett.
Chanelle was murdered in Boston in 1997 in an infamous murder and trial. Her sister, Gabrielle became something of a spokesperson about anti-trans violence, but was also on the scene.
Gabrielle was an amazingly pretty, smart, poised woman.
On this site there was some discussion about her a few years ago. Someone, I think Megabody, said she died of a drug overdose, but recently some sites are saying she was also murdered -- in 2003.
Anyway, someone posted a link on some politics site to some video on Youtube of Chanelle and Gabrielle in the (early?) 90s being interviewed on the old Jenny Jones show. What a story. I didn't know the half of it.
