WEST HOLLYWOOD, November 21, 2006 - The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. This year, the theme for DOR is “Healing for the Community”. This year’s extended ceremonies sought to heal the wounds of transphobia and oppression, those inflicted by others and those we inflict upon ourselves.

The event included a memorial reading of the names of victims of transphobia hate crimes. As each name was projected from two large screens, someone read the person's story, laid a white rose on the stand, and stood onstage until the stage was full and all the names had been read aloud.
