flyandfamousblackgirls:The real story about Sakia Gunn is that on the morning of 11 May 2003, at the age of 15, she was stabbed to death when she and her girlfriends rebuffed the sexual overtures of two African-American men by disclosing to them their disinterest was simply because they were all lesbians.Gunn and a group of her girlfriends, ages 15 to 17, were taking a train from Greenwich Village, a noted gay enclave in New York City, to Newark.While waiting for the bus two African-American men in a white station wagon harassed the girls.‘At some point during their interaction, they made their sexual orientation known. They made it clear that they weren’t interested,’ Lieutenant Derek Glenn, a spokesman for the Newark Police Department told the Associated Press.Incensed the girls rebuffed them – and by lesbians no less – the two assailants reportedly jumped out of their car and got into a scuffle with the girls.Stabbed by one of the men, Gunn dropped to the ground and died shortly after arriving at University Hospital in Newark. -- source link
