I don't want to equate a fictional character's death with an actual person's death, but a part of me does wish that some sort of nod to a community vigil could have made it into the last season of Pose. Season 3 ends in 1998 and the first Trans Day of Remembrance was in 1999, so I can understand why a modern day version of the vigil isn't nationwide at that point.
It's more... I suppose I wanted some allusion towards the community remembering Candy. Yeah, they added a lip sync category, but I only remember one instance of that pretty much right after her death. Season 3 also featured less ball scenes due to Covid-19 restrictions at the time of filming, so as a viewer, a small candle light vigil outside didn't seem quite as people heavy as a full ball scene inside.
Right now, I'm imagining a day with enough rain to justify umbrellas, so there could be a nod to the red umbrellas associated with the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers and other sex worker activism. Yeah, season 3 would have been a few years too early, but this wouldn't necessarily be about recreating a march or anything.
