Trans woman killed in Georgia a day after anti-LGBT law passed

A transgender woman was killed in Georgia one day after the parliament passed a restrictive anti-LGBT law. The law bans same-sex marriage, gender-affirming surgeries, adoption by non-heterosexuals, and promotion of same-sex relationships in schools. Rights groups link the killing to the government's anti-LGBT rhetoric, which they say fueled transphobic hate crime. The incident is being investigated as a premeditated murder on gender grounds.
