Transgender Day of Remembrance, 2022: Say Their Names
Statement by President Joe Biden on Transgender Day of Remembrance“There is no place for violence, hatred, and bigotry in America.
Yet, tragically, as last night’s attack in Colorado Springs reminds us, too many LGBTQI+ people in the United States — and around the world — continue to face unconscionable attacks.
This is especially true for transgender Americans. On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the 32 transgender Americans known to have been taken from us this year by horrific acts of brutality.
The true toll is likely much higher, with Black and brown transgender women disproportionately targeted.“In the face of this ongoing assault, my administration remains deeply committed to strengthening the rights of LGBTQI+ Americans, including transgender Americans.
