Truth Wins Out attended The Transgender Day of Remembrance on Sunday, which memorializes those who have been killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. We heard moving stories, listened to powerful music, and honored those who are no longer with us.
We thank RU12, the local LGBT community center which does an amazing job, and The Block Gallery for hosting this important event.
Wayne Besen is the Founding Executive Director of Truth Wins Out and author of “Anything But Straight: Unmasking the Scandals and Lies Behind the Ex-Gay Myth” (Haworth, 2003). In 2010, Besen was awarded the “Visionary Award” at the Out Music Awards for organizing the American Prayer Hour, an event which shined a spotlight on the role American evangelicals played in the introduction of Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill.
