It is time once again to mourn the losses and honor the memories of those people murdered in the past year as a result of anti-transgender hatred.
The reported deaths are down considerably compared to last year, but twenty-eight brutal killings in a year is still far too many.
This page is dedicated to the memory of:
Brenda
Wanchai Tongwijit
Mariah Malina Qualls
Estrella (Jose Angel) Venegas
Wong
Myra Chanel Ical
Derya Y.
Fevzi Yener (nickname – Aycan)
Dino Curi Huansi
Amanda Gonzalez-Andujar
Three Unidentified Transgender Women
Two Unidentified Persons dressed in women's clothes
An Unidentified Eunuch
Angie González Oquendo
Sandy Woulard
Roy Antonio Jones III (sixteen months old)
Imperia Gamaniel Parson
Gypsy
Victoria Carmen White
Justo Luis González GarcÃa
Irem
Stacey Lee aka Stacey Blahnik
Emanuelly Colaço Taborda
And to the others whose deaths have gone unreported.
Please take some time today to think about these people, and what they suffered just for trying to live their own lives.
Many thanks to Laura Seabrook, who created (and runs) the new Webcomics Project website.
You can check the International TDOR website to see if there are any memorial events in your area.
