When you share this image, you are blindly repeating one of the most unapologetic, vile pieces of transphobia ever uttered on television. Spitting on Brandon Teena's grave for Internet points. I'm posting this because I still see it randomly posted without any context.

Comedian Norm Macdonald on Saturday Night Live saying, "Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story should die."The New York City Menace's statement to Norm Macdonald dated February 27, 1996. It details Brandon Teena's tortuous rape and murder and forcefully condemns Norm for his hateful words on Saturday Night Live.

Crikey. I’ve seen this meme a lot yet this is the first time I’ve seen the context behind it.

May Brandon’s memory be an eternal blessing.
