Rainbow Chorus sends message of solidarity to mark TDoR

As an inclusive LGBTQ+ community choir, the Rainbow Chorus would usually take part in a Trans Day of Remembrance (TDoR) observance event to help raise the visibility of trans people and address issues members of the community face.

As the choir was unable to join in physical union for TDoR and stand in solidarity with the trans community, they came together online to produce a stirring video dedicated to trans lives lost. The video itself is an act of remembrance as it has a list of all the names of the people reported to have been murdered by anti-trans violence in the past 12 months. At the time of writing, this stands at more than 350 people.

The Rainbow Chorus said:

Hate crime is everyone’s issue; we remain committed to continued awareness raising, advocacy and utilising our voice to celebrate the diversity within our community.
