Now this is a big deal. Following on the heels of U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan's speech at a national transgender organization's gala fundraiser, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis has issued a statement recognizing the Transgender Day of Remembrance.

This is another first for the trans community and is a welcome step toward recognition of the least well understood segment of the LGBT community. It's heartening to see the movement starting to come of age politically.
