Trans day of remembrance
Nov. 20th, 2023 08:43 pmThe Trans Day of Remembrance was tonight. Pride YMM arranged a vigil at a park downtown.
It was a decent-sized group, somewhere between 25 and 30 people. Probably would have been more if it hadn't been bitterly cold. The organisers thought to bring electric candles, which is good, 'cause real ones wouldn't have stood up to the wind.
I've been to TDoR vigils before, but that was when I was away at university. It's surprising to have one in my hometown - surprising in a good way.
Anyway. Quiet moment, but good. Some people said a few words. Toward the end we cut it slightly shorter than planned due to the cold. Still, it was good.
I'm really glad so many people showed up.
