In memory of those killed by anti-transgender hatred or prejudice and also those who have been victims of transphobia resulting in suicide.
It raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgender people, an action that current media doesn't perform. Day of Remembrance publicly mourns and honors the lives of our brothers and sisters who might otherwise be forgotten.
Day of Remembrance gives allies a chance to step forward with trans people and stand in vigil, memorializing those who have died by anti-transgender violence.
We should remember, in such a special day, Kilian Meloy's quotation:
"In a historical sense, literature as we understand it is a fairly new innovation, and the current concept of homosexuality is even fresher from the cultural oven. It's no great surprise, then, that gay literature — or even gay characters in literature — are so relatively new as to still be shiny." (AfterElton.com / Influential Gay Characters in Literature)
Some examples of this 'queer literature' can be found in many mythologies and religious narratives that included stories of sex or romantic affection between men; in a lot of vampire stories, in some teen literature ...
