6th Annual Transgender Day of Remembrance

From the Remembering our Dead Web site:

The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event is held in November to honor Rita Hester, whose murder in 1998 kicked off the “Remembering Our Dead” web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Since then, the event has grown to encompass memorials in dozens of cities across the world.

Please take a moment today to remember those individuals who were taken away from us too early by the ignorance, intolerance and prejudice of other people.
