It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
people mentioning its segregation are correct but also need to mention that forcing trans students to go outside in outdoor toilets gives a straight pathway to getting raped and murdered by people who associate everyone who goes in there with being trans
Another trans woman was murdered in Seattle last night, stabbed in her laundry room on campus, rest in peace sister, you were taken too soon.
We don’t know who the killer is but I hope they rot in a cell for the rest of their life.
