Hundreds gathered in Liverpool's city centre tonight to mourn the loss of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey.
The trans community and its allies flooded the area outside St George’s Hall on Tuesday, February 14, in memory of schoolgirl, Brianna Ghey. Candles lit and posters in hand, crowds outside the Grade I building fell silent to remember the life of the year 11 Birchwood High School trans pupil who was found dead by members of the public in the Warrington Park.
Adorned in trans pride flags, attendees proudly held signs that read "you are loved", "protect trans youth" and "the future is queer" - all of which were complimented by the historical building lit up in trans colours - blue, pink and white. After 45 minutes, the congregation continued to grow as the silent event showed no signs of dwindling.
