(CNSNews.com) The U.S. Department of Labor is officially observing Nov. 20 as The Transgender Day of Remembrance."
"The Transgender Day of Remembrance [TDOR] will be commemorated in cities and countries around the world today, reflecting on those who have died as a result of fear, hate and transphobia, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said in a statement on Tuesday.
"I stand proudly today--and every day--as an ally to the transgender community and to every person and family impacted by anti-transgender bullying and violence, she said. Transgender people are part of the diversity that America celebrates today and they, like every American, deserve to live without fear of prejudice or violence.
I hope that this year's commemoration will serve as an opportunity to shine a brighter light on both progress made and the challenges ahead," Solis said.

How about a “used to be employed” day of rememberance.
Rail cars and ovens come to mind. My tinfoil hat bro mentioned something about FEMA camps once.
Not my America anymore.
U fn real. I guess bestiality day isn’t so far off for this bunch of sickos.
and our side is silent because they’re cowards , plain and simple
Unless and until we get Republinans with strong moral principles who understand the intent of the Constitution AND have courage and gust, we’re totally sunk.
And if only a tiny handful of Rs get the courage/principles necessary, then another party has to happen.
