In Dallas, a Transgender Day of Remembrance observance will take place at Cathedral of Hope at 6 p.m. on Sunday. And Youth First Texaswill hold a Transgender Day of Remembrance ceremony at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 20 at its Dallas community center at 3918 Harry Hines Blvd.
Transgender Day of Remembrance is observed to remember those who have lost their lives due to bias against their gender identity and expression. As part of the world-wide observances, communities unite during an evening in November to read the names and tell the stories of the dead.
The Dallas observance should be particularly meaningful this year with the recent murder of Janette Tovar. Equality Texas has put together a list of a number of other cities around the state that will hold TDOR observances over the next week. The list is below.
