This Week @ AU

The Transgender Day of Remembrance is a remembrance holiday held every November in honor of those who were victims of hate crimes due to the sole reason that they were transgender. There are many different ways to honor those that have been victims of the hate crimes like candlelit vigils and small prayer circles. The day is a somber event that usually ends with comments and maybe even personal experiences dealing with the subject matter. Because of the nature of Transgender Day of Remembrance, the Auburn Gay Straight Alliance will be holding a candlelit vigil on Samford Lawn at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, in honor of all the transgender people (not necessarily at Auburn) who have been victims of hate crimes in the past year. Please come out and join everyone in honoring those transgender people. For more information about Transgender Day of Remembrance, please visit http://www.gender.org/remember/day/.
