Transgender Day of Remembrance

This is all I could find. From 2016. And it's from GLAAD's site as well. Think that would be up to date.

Nothing on when the day will be in Indianapolis. If anyone knows anything please post. I'll keep looking too. Thanks.

Finally some info on Indianapolis' TDOR 2017:

And a list of victims from 2016-2107.

I hope you are able to go to your local ceremony. If not then simply have some friends over or just take the time to reflect.

Today November 20 is the generally recognized Transgender Day of Remembrance. I have not been able to find a ceremony here in Indianapolis. So this evening I will light a candle and reflect on the friends that we've lost this year.

Here is a link to a site with names if you would like to do the same:

As of October 23rd. I still can't find anything (yet) about our own local ceremony in the Indianapolis area. Ours often falls on a day other than the traditional 20th of November. I'll keep trying but I've decided regardless I will have my own private ceremony at my home in Zionsville. Mainly just friends and family. Probably a fairly small gathering of less than 20-25. The following website explains what the "TDOR" is and offers some tips on hosting your own remembrance:

If nothing else, please take a moment to reflect on all the friends we've lost this past year. It's been a bad one. Sadly this year marks the 10th anniversary of attending my first TDOR. I don't think that things are necessarily better now than then. We have a long ways to go.

Haven’t found an event locally this year. My guess is everything will be “WebEx” or “Zoom.” I’ll post more if I find out anything. Again, I’m planning to have a private gathering of friends at my home in Zionsville.
Here’s a link to GLADD’s site:

And a reminder of why we still need to have this.

Have not been able to find a local ceremony in the Indianapolis area so I have signed up for this “Virtual” one. It is scheduled for Wednesday, November 18 6-7:30 p.m. ET. Maybe others from TLB will be interested in attending.

In the meantime you should continue to keep checking GLAAD's website for more information on gatherings around the world. I'm still planning to have friends over that evening.
