While we uplift the memory of those who paved the way, we mourn the devastating, relentless violence that trans people, especially Black trans women, still face. Miss Major & Sir Lady Java dedicated their lives to the rights of trans women, & we’ll continue their fight in their honor & memory. 🩷🕯️💙

LGBTQ+ servicemembers have long faced rejection instead of recognition, discharged for their identities despite their commitment to serve. Their sacrifice, stories, and memory deserves our honor & respect.

This year at our SSEQ Luncheon, we were grateful to share a conversation with George M. Johnson, author of All Boys Aren't Blue—the most banned book in the country.
