International Transgender Day of Remembrance
Nov. 20th 2009: 7:30pm
|
Oklahomans for Equality joins
our international transgender community on Friday evening at 7:30 p.m.,
November 20th, 2009 at the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center
located at 621 East 4th Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma as we remember
those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice.
Dr. Laura Arrowsmith, Director
of Oklahomans for Equality's Gender Outreach Program and members of
the Tulsa transgender community will lead the service. Our special musical
guests will be Council Oak Mens Chorale and Sisters in Song with clergy from the progressive and affirming faith community participating.
We live in times more sensitive
than ever to hatred based violence. The deaths of those based on anti-transgender
hatred or prejudice are largely ignored. Over the last decade, more
than one person per month has died due to transgender prejudice. This
trend shows no sign of abating.
The International Transgender
Day of Remembrance publicly mourns and honors the lives of our brothers
and sisters who might otherwise be forgotten. Please join us for this
solemn and informative event.

Reading Rainbow

The Nancy and Joe McDonald Rainbow Library is about to contain
some brand new titles! They include some children's books, young adult
books, and multicultural books. Also, a growing focus is the
transgender and bisexuality sections. If you would like to be included
in this exciting time of growth for the Library, you can include the
Library in your regular Amazon shopping. I've made it easy: follow
this link to the Library's Amazon wish list http://amzn.com/w/1Y56ZOYRAQAZT
and find a book there that you would like to donate. Send it directly
to me, and I will process it and place it in the library. Be sure to
visit your contribution to the library! Thanks for your continued
support. |
