SUMMARY:Transgender Day of Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:The Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR)\, also known as the International Transgender Day of Remembrance\, has been observed annually (from its inception) on November 20 as a day to memorialize those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia. The day was founded to draw attention to the continued violence endured by transgender people. \nTransgender Day of Remembrance was founded in 1999 by a small group\, including Gwendolyn Ann Smith\, to memorialize the murder of transgender woman Rita Hester in Allston\, Massachusetts. In 2010\, TDoR was observed in over 185 cities throughout more than 20 countries. \nTypically\, a TDoR memorial includes a reading of the names of those who lost their lives from October 1st of the former year to September 30th of the current year\, and may include other actions\, such as candlelight vigils\, dedicated church services\, marches\, art shows\, food drives and film screenings \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_Day_of_Remembrance

SUMMARY:Holocaust Remembrance Day
DESCRIPTION:This day remembers the terrible legacy of the Holocaust\, the systematic state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately 6 million Jews\, by the Nazi German regime and its allies and collaborators between 1933 and 1945. HRC also remembers the millions of ethnic minorities\, people with disabilities and political opponents of the Nazis killed during this period. This included LGBTQ+ people\, who suffered severe\, targeted persecution under the Nazi regime. \nInternational Holocaust Remembrance Day is observed every January 27 to mark the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945. We must remember our history to honor the dead and protect future generations. \nBefore the Nazis came to power\, both the Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities were thriving. LGBTQ+ communities were growing across Germany\, especially in cities such as Berlin\, Hamburg and Frankfurt. Gay men and lesbians formed social clubs\, published gay and lesbian journals and newspapers and openly advocated for the repeal of Paragraph 175 of the German criminal code\, a statute that outlawed sexual relations between men. These groups also joined with advocates for reforming laws around sex work and reproductive rights. The Jewish sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld started the Institute for Sexual Sciences in Berlin\, a community center that promoted diversity among sexual orientations and gender identities and provided services including medical care\, professional training and sexual education. The institute even provided healthcare for transgender patients and its staff performed some of the first modern gender-affirming surgeries. \nThis increased visibility changed dramatically when the Nazis began a campaign of repression against vulnerable populations across Germany. As the Nazis began targeting the Jewish people\, they also began raiding gay and lesbian bars and cafes and shut down LGBTQ+ publishing houses. They attacked the Institute for Sexual Sciences\, forcing it to close and burning thousands of the institute’s books\, articles and patient files. In 1936\, the Nazi regime established the Reich Central Office for the Combating of Homosexuality and Abortion\, cementing a link between anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes and the movement against reproductive choice. Paragraph 175 was used to arrest about 100\,000 men for engaging in same-sex activity and over half were convicted. Between 5\,000 and 15\,000 of those convicted were imprisoned in concentration camps and forced to wear a pink triangle to identify them as gay. Those marked by the pink triangle were subject to severe physical and sexual abuse by guards and fellow inmates. \nWithin Germany\, the liberation of the concentration camps and defeat of the Nazi regime did not bring immediate relief to the LGBTQ+ community. Male same-sex relations were not decriminalized until 1967 in East Germany and 1969 in West Germany\, so many survivors faced reimprisonment. It was not until the 1990s that the German government finally acknowledged gay men as victims of the Nazis. Paragraph 175 was repealed in 1994 and Nazi-era convictions under the law were overturned in 2002. \nhttps://www.hrc.org/news/hrc-observes-international-holocaust-remembrance-day

SUMMARY:Pansexual and Panromantic Awareness and Visibility Day
DESCRIPTION:To be pansexual is to have a sexual or romantic attraction not limited by gender\, or gender identity\, while to be panromantic is the same except without the sexual attraction. Attraction is not dependent on gender; pan people are attracted to the person before anything else. However\, this doesn’t mean they’re attracted to anyone and everyone! \nIt is observed annually on May 24th. \nhttps://workplacepride.org/event/11861/

SUMMARY:International Nonbinary People’s Day
DESCRIPTION:International Non-Binary People’s Day is observed each year on 14 July and is aimed at raising awareness and organising around the issues faced by non-binary people around the world. The day was first celebrated in 2012\, started by Katje van Loon. The date was chosen for being precisely midway between International Men’s Day and International Women’s Day. \nMost countries in the world do not recognize non-binary as a legal gender\, meaning most self-identified non-binary people still have a passport matching their assigned sex and official identification. Australia\, Argentina\, Bangladesh\, Canada\, Denmark\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, New Zealand\, and the United States include non-binary gender options on passports\, and 23 US states plus Washington DC allow residents to mark their gender as ‘X’ on their driving licence. \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Non-Binary_People%27s_Day

SUMMARY:Canada Legalization of Same-Sex Marriage
DESCRIPTION:In 2003\, Ontario and British Columbia became the first two provinces to legalize same-sex marriage. The federal Civil Marriage Act came into force on 20 July 2005\, making same-sex marriage legal across Canada. Canada became the fourth country to permit same-sex marriages\, after the Netherlands (2000)\, Belgium (2003) and Spain (2005). Since then\, all provinces in Canada have recognized same-sex marriages. Marriage itself falls under federal jurisdiction in Canada. But the provinces regulate the solemnization of marriage (the formal ceremony that is either civil or religious). They also grant marriage licenses. \nhttps://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/same-sex-marriage-in-canada

SUMMARY:LGBT History Month
DESCRIPTION:In 1994\, Rodney Wilson\, a Missouri high school teacher\, believed a month should be dedicated to the celebration and teaching of gay and lesbian history\, and gathered other teachers and community leaders. They selected October because public schools are in session and existing traditions\, such as Coming Out Day (October 11)\, occur that month. \nGay and Lesbian History Month was endorsed by GLAAD\, the Human Rights Campaign\, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force\, the National Education Association and other national organizations. In 2006 Equality Forum assumed responsibility for providing content\, promotion and resources for LGBT History Month. \nhttps://lgbthistorymonth.com/

SUMMARY:International Lesbian Day
DESCRIPTION:International Lesbian Day is an annual awareness day that celebrates the L in LGBTQ+. \nOn October 8\, lesbians in different countries come together to celebrate their identity and discuss specific issues that homosexual women face on a daily basis\, as well as to make themselves seen and heard both within the LGBTQ+ community and outside of it. \nThe origins of the day are unclear. According to some sources\, it was first observed in New Zealand in 1980 with a Lesbian Day March on International Women’s Day (March 8). Other accounts claim that the day started about a decade later. Be that as it may\, the observance has been around since at least the early 1990s. \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Lesbian_Day

SUMMARY:International Pronouns Day
DESCRIPTION:International Pronouns Day seeks to make respecting\, sharing\, and educating about personal pronouns commonplace. Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity. Being referred to by the wrong pronouns particularly affects transgender and gender nonconforming people. Together\, we can transform society to celebrate people’s multiple\, intersecting identities. \nThis occurs annually on the third Wednesday of October. \nhttps://pronouns.org/day \nCheck out our video about pronouns by clicking here
