Trans-Awareness Month, lasting all of November, aims to increase visibility
As a part of November’s Trans-Awareness Month, the PSU Queer Resource Center will hold informational workshops, movie nights and a candlelight vigil in memory of the individuals who have suffered due to anti-transgender crimes and prejudice.
The candlelight vigil will take place on Nov. 20 at 6 p.m. in the Portland State Park Blocks, as a part of the National Transgender Day of Remembrance. The Athens Boy Choir, a solo-artist named Katz who identifies as a transsexual, will perform a spoken word slam poetry session after the vigil at 7 p.m. in Smith Memorial Student Union, room 228.
