SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The transgender flag at the corner of Normal Street and University Avenue was at half-staff Wednesday night in recognition of Transgender Remembrance Day.
The gesture was made in honor of those in that community who were lost to violence.

Bliss Vasquez, the center's transgender and nonbinary services program manager, spoke to ABC 10News about why this event is important to them and the community at large.
