Gwen Araujo


gwen amber rose araujo (february 24, 1985 – october 4, 2002, née edward araujo, jr.) was a transgendered teenager from newark, california, who died during or shortly after an attack by multiple individuals. the events leading up to araujo’s death were the subject of a pair of criminal trials in which it was alleged that the attackers were angered by the discovery that araujo — who, at the time, was living as female — was biologically male. in the most recent trial, two of the defendants were convicted of second-degree murder, but the jury concluded that no hate crime was committed. the circ-mstances of the case have caused it to become a rallying point for the lgbt community, and a number of underreported and controversial aspects about the case and about gwen’s murder remain points of contention.
