My very, very close friend, Vicki Estrada, gave the keynote address at the International Transgender Day Of Remembrance memorial event, held at the San Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, And Transgender Community Center.

Below is the video of her speech (recorded by Vicki's wife Lynda), and the prepared text for the speech. She begins her speech with the present reality that some hate us all in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community, and she ends her speech with a vision of hope.
