Winnipeg holds vigil for National Day of Silence

Link
4/28/2008

"Excerpt: The vigil in Winnipeg was particularly timely because it
happened exactly a month after the death of a local transgender woman.
Calvin Osborne, who went by the name Rose, was murdered in late March
in an apartment suite on Broadway Ave. Rose was the sibling of Helen
Betty Osborne, a young Aboriginal girl whose violent death in 1971
left a lasting scar on Manitobans. Although police have not come
forward to say the killing was a hate crime, people in the community
suspect that Rose's gender identity may have played a role in her
death."
