(Self-organised by Manchester’s Transgender Community and Groups: MORF, Trans Youth Network, TransForum and Queer Cafe Collective).
Manchester’s third Annual Transgender Day Of Remembrance Vigil will take place on Sunday the 23rd November 2008.
This will be the tenth year that a day has been set aside to honour the memory of all those transpeople killed by violence every year and to affirm our resolve to report transphobic crime.
Over 400 people are named as having been killed, with many more remaining unknown.
Some dried fruit towers I made for the Equinox winter feast! Sadly not yet seen at the cafe. These are made by dehydrating slices of apple, kiwi and banana and stacking them up with half a blueberry on top.
First Sunday of the month, come to the LGBTQ Centre behind 8th Day on Oxford Road for Sunday lunch, nice people and Sunday papers. It’s bring a dish, so please bring some food if you are able.
The cafe is primarily a safe space for queers and their friends. We take queer to mean people of all genders, sexualities, and sexes and who are involved in all kinds of relationship types. We started the Cafe out of a lack of safe spaces for queers to get cheap, vegetarian and vegan food and generally hang out and be well.
