"This is an opportunity to be visible — to inspire others, that it's okay to be who you are. It's okay to step out of the closet. It's okay to ask questions. It's okay to dip your foot into that water," one rallygoer said.

"I don't really have a sense of the state. I only have a gut sense, and my gut sense is it's not safe."

I spoke with a couple of folks for #TransDayOfVisibility about how the good and the bad of visibility. https://t.co/Oo1NJw3TMr

A new audio play presented by the UI Theatre Department will utilize campus as the backdrop for a series of historical queer love letters, all of which were composed between the years 816 A.C. and 1994.

[Iowa Freedom Riders @IAFreedomRiders]

damn we are excited for the Peoples TRC right now. there's something so rejuvenating about giving up on the idea that the government will eventually learn and come around. it's liberating to stop relying on the systems that fail us and just go build the fuckin thing yourself ❤️❤️

[Iowa City Press-Citizen @presscitizen]

The rally both coincides with the International Day of Visibility and acts as a reaction to the more than 80 bills targeting transgender Americans introduced in state legislatures this year. https://t.co/obDqr8FwSu
