Pgh Lesbian Correspondents

This year, an unprecedented 34 transgender and non-binary neighbors have lost their lives to transphobic violence.As I completed my ballot earlier this month, I whispered their names. When I write a new memorial post, I carefully read the list and say their names exhorting them to wrap their arms around the most recently lost neighbor.Joe Biden will help to build an America that respects and values our transgender and non-binary neighbors. That is not an easy task and he’s going to need to go to bat for our community in unprecedented ways and we LGBTQ folx are going to need to center our trans siblings. We have to sacrifice. Decency demands it.This epidemic of violence won’t stop. It’s worsening each year.Let their memories be a revolution.
