Gwen Smith

The Transgender Day of Remembrance will be held on Nov. 20 across the globe. The annual celebration allows the community to pay respects to those who have lost their lives to bigotry and hatred. It was spearheaded by Gwen Smith and is in its 13th year.

In North Carolina, a number of candlelight vigils have been organized to address this horrific situation.
