History about D.O.R.:
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
like Los Angeles and across the world.

In addition to memorializing the people lost to senseless hate and violence, I would like to honor the women and men who courageously live their lives in truth everyday. It makes me so angry that much of the hate and degredation against the GLBT community is embraced by religion! Everyone in our community should know that there's a documentary film soon to be released about two lesbian women who set out to fight against religious bigotry by posing as a straight couple in an evangelical church... and they have proof.
