Brandon Teena was a 21-year-old transgender man in Nebraska who was brutally murdered on New Year’s Eve by two men who had raped him days before after learning of his transgender status. (Local authorities took little action after Teena reported the sexual assault.) John Lotter and Tom Nissen were convicted of killing Teena and two others in a case that inspired the Oscar-winning film “Boys Don’t Cry” and raised awareness about violence against the LGBTQ community.
