So for those that didn't know, Friday was Toronto's Trans Day Of Remembrance, the day where us transfolk anually get together to mark the passing of some of our own.  it usually happens on the 20th, but a scheduling problem at Buddies In Bad Times, the venue where it was held, happened and it was pushed back.

The event itself was pretty good.  Some short stories and poems were read, some really good speeches were made, two lip-synched drag queen songs were performed and a nonsensical rant was mumbled.  All followed by a reading of the names and a candlelight vigil in their honour.
