International Transgender Day of Remembrance, Nov. 20th

The 13th annual International Transgender Day of Remembrance is tomorrow. It's a day to remember those who's lives were tragically cut short because of anti-transgender hatred and prejudice. The event is held in November to honor Rita Hester, who was murdered in November of 1998. It's observed in over 20 countries. This is a list of those killed in the past year. Please, if you're religious, take time to remember these people and their families in your prayers.
