Transgender Day of Remembrance
- Transgender Day of Remembrance
Transgender Day of Remembrance is an occasion in the LGBT community set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice (transphobia). The event is held on 20 November. It was founded by Gwendolyn Ann SmithFact|date=May 2007 to honor Rita Hester, whose murder in 1998 kicked off the "Remembering Our Dead" web project and a San Francisco, California candlelight vigil in 1999. Since then, the event has grown to encompass memorials in hundreds of cities around the world.
Transgender Day of Remembrance Webcomics Project
The "Transgender Day of Remembrance Webcomics Project" is an online event founded by Jenn Dolari and Erin Lindsey to commemorate the Transgender Day of Remembrance. The creators of various web comics each feature a page for the 20th November that highlights the Day of Remembrance.
Originally a cross over webcomic between Venus Envy and Closetspace in 2004 to mark the 6th Day of Remembrance, participation grew to include a total of nine web comics in the first year. The event has continued to occur since then, and a permanent gallery of the pages is kept at Jenn Dolari's website.
