Memorials set for trans filmmaker Christopher Lee

Memorial services will be held in San Francisco and Berkeley this weekend to remember transgender filmmaker and ->-bleeped-<- Fest co-founder Christopher Lee.

Mr. Lee, who in 2002 served as the first female-to-male grand marshal in the San Francisco LGBT Pride Parade, died by suicide December 22, 2012 at the age of 48, said his friends Shivaun Nestor and Marie Morohoshi.

Friends and members of Mr. Lee's chosen family said that he suffered from depression and mental illness, but that he was a creative, generous person who would turn up with a surprise gift or help finish a project.

It was his work helping start ->-bleeped-<- Fest – now called the San Francisco Transgender Film Festival – for which many will remember him.
