  • Gwen Araujo (February 24, 1985 – October 3, 2002), born Edward Araujo, Jr. , was an American teenage pre-operative transgender woman who was murdered in Newark, California. She was killed by four men, two of whom she had been sexually intimate with, who beat and strangled her after discovering she was transgender. Two of the defendants were convicted of second-degree murder, but not convicted on the requested hate crime enhancements. The other two defendants pleaded guilty or no contest to voluntary manslaughter. In at least one of the trials, a trans panic defense–an extension of the gay panic defense–was employed. The crime received widespread national and international attention and prompted some authors to write about the bearing of homophobia and transphobia on Araujo's murder, along with questioning whether transgender people were being represented fairly and accurately in both mass media and the criminal justice system. Reaction to the case was an impetus for law reform movements in several states. The events, including both criminal trials, have been portrayed in a television movie, A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story. The murder was regularly compared to the Matthew Shepard and Brandon Teena case and was a rallying cause for the transgender and ultimately the larger LGBT communities.
  • Gwen Amber Rose Araujo, nacido Edward Araujo, Jr. fue una adolescente transexual que murió a causa del ataque de varios individuos. Los motivos de la muerte de Araujo fueron investigados en los juicios penales en los que se alegó que los atacantes se enfadaron al descubrir que Araujo — quien, en el momento del incidente, vivía como una mujer — era biológicamente varón. En el juicio más reciente, dos de los acusados fueron declarados culpables de asesinato en segundo grado, pero el jurado concluyó que no se había cometido un delito de odio. Las circunstancias del caso hicieron que se convirtiera en un punto de reunión de la comunidad LGBT, y varios aspectos, polémicos y poco comentados en la prensa sobre el caso siguen siendo puntos de controversia.
  • Гвен Араухо — трансгендерная женщина из США, которая была избита и задушена четырьмя мужчинами в Ньюарке, штат Калифорния, в октябре 2002 года. Убийство привлекло внимание американской общественности и послужило стимулом к ужесточению законодательства нескольких американских штатов в отношении преступлений, совершаемых на почве ненависти к представителям сексуальных меньшинств и инвалидам. Убийство постоянно сравнивалось с историей Мэтью Шепарда, что в результате способствовало единению всего ЛГБТ-сообщества.
