Yesterday, Governor Kathy Hochul issued a proclamation, declaring November as Transgender Awareness Month. In addition to this announcement, Governor Hochul also stated that New York State landmarks will be lit pink, white, and light blue on Sunday, November 20 in honor of Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Governor Hochul stated: “This November, I’m proud to celebrate Transgender Awareness Month to highlight the countless contributions that members of the transgender community have made to our state. Along with Transgender Day of Remembrance, this is also an opportunity to raise awareness about the discrimination and attacks transgender, gender non-conforming and non-binary people face across the world. My administration will continue to stand with the transgender community as we fight to ensure all New Yorkers can live with the dignity and equality they deserve.”
