A Transgender Day of Remembrance community gathering and vigil is held at First United Church of Christ Wednesday

Transgender Day of Remembrance, a time to honor transgender individuals who lost their lives to hate crimes and anti-trans violence, is today. Gender Identity in Florida Today Orlando and Transitional Space host a TDOR Community Gathering and Vigil Wednesday at First United Church of Christ.

Tonights memorial includes speeches, remembrances and a candlelight vigil. On the docket also is a performance from Orlando Gay Chorus, a rousing performing arts group devoted to uplifting LGBTQ+ voices.

Come together — allies and members of the LGBTQ+ community alike — to remember the beautiful members of the trans community no longer with us and stand in solidarity for the protection of the transgender folks around you.

6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20, First United Church of Christ, 4605 Curry Ford Road, giftorlando.org, free.
