Ansonia observes Transgender Day of Remembrance

Mayor David S. Cassetti and the City of Ansonia observed Transgender Day of Remembrance Saturday morning by raising the Transgender Pride Flag at City Hall and issuing an official proclamation recognizing Sunday, Nov. 20 as Transgender Day of Remembrance in Ansonia.

Transgender Day of Remembrance memorializes all transgender people who have lost their lives to transgender related violence. A list of transgender people who were lost to such violence in 2022 alone was read at the ceremony by Corporation Counsel John Marini.

The Transgender flag will be flown at City Hall for the next week in honor of Ansonia’s transgender community, and all victims of discriminatory violence.

The colors of the flag are blue, pink and white, and described by the flags creator- an American trans woman named Monica Helms- as follows:

“The stripes at the top and bottom are light blue, the traditional color for baby boys. The stripes next to them are pink, the traditional color for baby girls. The stripe in the middle is white, for those who are transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender.”

Thanks to 2nd Ward Alderwoman Bobbi Tar for the photographs.
