It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

under no circumstances can the legitimacy of a desire to see appropriate reforms made to our gun laws become an excuse to equivocate regarding any attempt to categorically deny trans people rights - *any* rights - that others retain
Banning trans people from owning guns is a really REALLY significant escalation and I think the scariest part about it that's not being discussed at all is that the plan is to declare that trans people are mentally ill
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Good piece of reporting here on the impact of anti-trans laws on communities beyond trans folks and their families. We hear many of these stories from churches across the country.
Anti-trans laws don’t only affect trans people and their families. In Vermillion, South Dakota, a bathroom ban nearly cost a town its only bookstore. Then a young trans couple stepped up. My latest for @washingtonpost.com — wapo.st/4m3PuFP
A family opened a town’s first bookstore. A bathroom bill is driving them away.
The Phelans ran the only bookstore in Vermillion, South Dakota. They sold it and moved after a new law would’ve required their daughter to use a boy’s bathroom.

We are so sad to have lost our comrade the Rev. Dr. Vicki Gray over the weekend. She was a dear friend, fierce advocate, devoted deacon, and member of our Steering Committee for many years. We lift up our friend with gratitude for her life and witness. ⚓️

Amazing news! I just got word that Kelly Ayotte has just vetoed HB148, a bill that would repeal non-discrimination protections for trans people in New Hampshire. It was a long and at many times terrifying journey, but I'm glad she understood how terrible this would be for all Granite Staters.

Today the Episcopal Church commemorates the life of the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray, a remarkable scholar, activist, and priest who likely was also trans. We give thanks for Dr. Murray’s life, work and witness in the civil rights and feminist movements both within and beyond the borders of the church. ⚓️
Continuing Juneteenth & Pride: today is Pauli Murray’s feast day in the Episcopal Church! ⚓️
“When my brothers try to draw a circle to exclude me, I shall draw a larger circle to include them. Where they speak out for the privileges of a puny group, I shall shout for the rights of all humankind.”

Notes for Pride weekend - a number of Episcopal clergy and lay folks were be present at a rally led by trans youth at San Francisco City Hall last night. Today we join the SF Trans March, starting with a Eucharist at 4:45pm outside the friary (573 Dolores) on Dolores Park. All welcome! ⚓️
