This means that we are a transgender service organization and transgender community built around the deceased, or more accurately, around the relationship between the living and the deceased. Both the living and the deceased should be part of our diverse and spiritual trans community. We would not be able to come together and unite as an organization that serves the living without a common memory and remembrance of the deceased. Therefore, in every activity and business we do, we should try our best to involve both the living and the dead. Despite the lines between the two sides of the River Styx (or, say, the Galaxy), we must take into account the people who are silently watching over us on the other side. Our anthem, flag, and other symbols of our organization should all serve the purpose of connecting the living and the dead. diff --git a/content/index.md b/content/index.md index 72ccb7a..8035f3f 100644 --- a/content/index.md +++ b/content/index.md @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ layout: ourhome hero: name: 'One Among Us' text: '' - tagline: A community for East-Asian and East-Asian Canadian transgender and gender diverse people. + tagline: A warm, strong and resilient community for East-Asian and East-Asian Canadian transgender and gender-diverse people. image: /assets/favicon-new.png actions: - theme: alt @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ hero: text: People link: /people - theme: alt - text: Archives + text: Posts link: /posts - theme: alt text: Contact @@ -62,9 +62,11 @@ friends: --- -Hi!
