Nov 20th, 2022 - Trans Day of Remembrance
The Trans day of remembrance event we held was the unbreakable hope for the brighter days ahead. I know we are mourning our loved ones. That is why we have each other together. As 2SLGBTIQ+, we have the right to exist here, the universe is our home too, and we have the liberty to be on this earth.
Our hearts continue to mourn for our community in Colorado. We hope these powerful memories of the Trans day of remembrance will give you the strength to find healing in these challenging times. Lastly is a heartfelt thank you to everyone who showed up on the Trans Day of Remembrance. It took us decades to come out courageous and be who we are! To unlearn and learn. Today we stand together.
