Transgender Day Of Remembrance

Today, November 20, 2012, is the 14th annual Transgender Day Of Remembrance. This day is recognized all over the world and is a day to remember those that took their own life or had their life taken from them due to anti-transgender discrimination and violence. So please at some point in your day, take the time to send those lost to us a thought, prayer, good feeling, or even just a smile to let them know they are not forgotten, never forgotten.

If you yourself are transgender, know there are those out there that love you exactly for who you are. I do and I don't even know you. If you know someone who is transgender, make sure you go see them, call them, text them, IM them, tweet them, whatever, just to let them know they are important to you and that you are thinking of them.

I saw this today, just a little while ago, while walking my dog. It filled me with great joy that today of all days something this beautiful would just randomly show up. There is even a faded second one to the right as well. I like to think this is some sort of message that those we are remembering today know we are thinking of them, and this is their thank you.
