Transgender activist found dead in O.C. mourned as leader

As mourners dropped different colored flowers on top of a transgender womans coffin on Monday, her favorite song blared through a cellphones tiny speakers.
Mexican pop singer Gloria Trevis Todos Me Miran was Zoraida Reyes go-to song whenever she sang karaoke at home, her mother said. The single, translated as "Everyone Looks at Me," became a gay anthem for its lyrics about overcoming rejection.
Shed stay up singing, Id have to scream at her to go to bed, Macrina Reyes said in Spanish. Every time we got together we would sing.
The 28-year-olds body was found June 12 in a brushy area near a lot behind an Anaheim Dairy Queen in the 200 block of North State College Boulevard by a customer who had parked there after ordering food at the eatery.
