Transgender Day of Rememberance

Wednesday, 04 November 2009 21:32
E-mail Print

Friday, November 20 is the Transgender Day of Rememberance, a day set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hate or prejudice.  The Transgender Day of Remembrance serves several purposes. It raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgender people, an action that current media doesn’t perform. Day of Remembrance publicly mourns and honors the lives of our brothers and sisters who might otherwise be forgotten. Through the vigil, we express love and respect for our people in the face of national indifference and hatred. Day of Remembrance reminds non-transgender people that we are their sons, daughters, parents, friends and lovers. Day of Remembrance gives our allies a chance to step forward with us and stand in vigil, memorializing those of us who’ve died by anti-transgender violence.

Since 1970, 20 people in Florida have been killed because of anti-transgender hate, and in 2009 alone 10 people in the United States and 85 people elsewhere in the world are known to have died because of such hate.

The GLBT community is lucky in that, over the course of the past few years, it has been the subject of a lot of research.  This research often includes student participants, and so GLBSU now provides a link for its members to contribute to the current body of research being done.  The "Reach Out with Research" module will show the latest research survey opportunities for members on every page.

If you are the author of a survey and would like to reach GLBSU members, please e-mail a summary of and link to your survey to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

With the holidays over, GLBSU is looking forward to a busy semester as we host a number of new events.  Along with our signature Spring Gayla, our gay prom, we will be undertaking some new projects, including a new group for our members who like to stay active outdoors, and a program to reward people for what they do after every meeting, anyways:  eating out.
