International Transgender Day of Remembrance

Transgender day of remembrance

November 20 is the International Transgender Day of Remembrance. The murder of Rita Hester on November 28, 1998, led to the “Remembering Our Dead” web project, and a vigil in San Francisco the following year. From that time on the day has evolved into an important event in the international LGBT calendar.

To day raises awareness of the violence that is faced by transgender people worldwide.

In London, the day is being marked by an event that is first about remembering the dead and the second about celebrating the lives of trans people. The event is held in collaboration between Translondon, Birkbeck College SU, Camden LGBT Forum and the University of London Union.

To find out more about the events, click here to visit the International Transgender Day of Remembrance website.

About Polari Magazine

Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.

Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.

Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.

Polari Magazine is all these: it's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
