20.11.14 -- to memorialize the 268 transgenders who were killed past year due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. That is why today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. River of Sorrow is a song for Marsha P. Johnson. The band Antony and the Johnsons was named in Johnsons honor. Johnson was an LGBT-rights activist from the 60s till the early 90s, when her body was found floating in the Hudson River. Police ruled the death a suicide, but she wasnt suicidal. In stead: she been harassed near the spot where her body was found. Attempts to get the police to investigate the cause of death were unsuccessful. Till november 2012, when the New York police department re-opened the case.
