Honoring TDOR and Understanding Its Significance
Honoring Transgender Day of Remembrance
Today, we remember the lives lost to anti-transgender violence in 2024 and reflect on the systemic changes needed to protect our trans siblings. Tragically, the year has been marked by the loss of so many beloved individuals, including:
- San Coleman, Atlanta, GA, age 48
- Honee Daniels, Rochester, NY, age 37
- Kassim Omar, Columbus, OH, age 29
- Redd (Barbie), Chicago, IL, age 25
- Pauly Likens, Sharon, PA, age 14
- Tayy Dior Thomas, Mobile, AL, age 17
-
Sasha Williams, Las Vegas, NV, age 36
...and far too many others.
Each of these lives mattered deeply, and we stand in solidarity with the trans community as we mourn, honor, and advocate for change.
At The LOFT LGBTQ+ Community Center, we are committed to supporting our trans and nonbinary community through affirming groups and resources:
Let us continue to uplift, support, and advocate for trans lives, celebrating their beauty and resilience every day. Together, we can build a safer and more inclusive world.
We're Closed for Veterans Day
The LOFT will be closed on Veterans Day, November 11th, as we honor the brave veterans in our community and beyond.
Today, we extend our gratitude to LGBTQ+ veterans who have served with resilience, courage, and pride. Their contributions remind us of the strength within our community and the importance of inclusion and equality in every space, including our armed forces.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back on November 12th. In the meantime, let’s take a moment to recognize and thank our LGBTQ+ veterans for their service.
