Guys, we have to do better by trans people. It's a messed up situation when a community has to hold an annual vigil for people killed in hate crimes. Often, the T in LGBTQ gets left behind when groundbreaking anti-hate crime or anti-discrimination laws are getting made, and people are dying. We can't allow this to continue.
