Please Remember [Transgender Day of Remembrance]
In the past I’ve written a few post about the transgendered community. Today marks the 11th annual Transgender Day of Remembrance. This is a day set aside each year to remember those who lost their lives due to hatred or prejudice due to their transgendered or gender non-conforming status. November is Transgender Awareness Month, and Transgender Day of Remembrance always falls on the 20th of November starting in 1999 in honor of Rita Hester, who was murdered on November 28th, 1998. I ask you to please join with me in taking some time today and think about all those who’ve given their lives for simply expressing themselves.
Dear Sarcasm
Dear Sarcasm
Are you a wall that needs to be put up
Or one that needs to be knocked down
Dear Sarcasm
Are you an acceptable form of humor
Or a laceration to ones heart
Dear Sarcasm
Should I combat your urges
Or let your desires be fulfilled
Dear Sarcasm
Do you have your spot in good taste
Or should you be abolished from this place
