After watching
the ending to “Laramie Project” the class was discussing about another movie
called “Boys Don’t Cry” and the way it was describe in class had me interesting
in doing my research on that story. Boys Don’t Cry is a true story about a girl
named Teena Marie Brandon who struggle with identity crisis, she later began to
call herself Brandon Teena. Brandon later starting posing herself as a guy,
after getting charge with a felony she moved to Richardson County to live with
her girlfriend who thought she was a guy. Long story short rumors started spreading
that she was a girl. Two other males took Brandon to the bathroom and exposed
her. The two males felt that they should show Brandon a lesson for making them
think she was a girl so they decided to take Brandon in their car, drive to a
country road and brutally beat and rape her. The two guys warn Brandon not to
say anything or else they would kill her. Brandon reported the incident to the
police, a couple days later Brandon got shot by the same two guys who beat and
rape her.
