For 24 hours in Houston, the biker, GLBT, atheist and non-fundi faith communities came together to protest hate. This is a short video from some of the protests that went on last weekend. I thought it was really amazing to have such diverse groups working together against hate!
Thirty-one years ago today, Judge Phyllis Frye – the first openly trans judge in Texas – was able to get the Houston crossdressing ordinance overturned: – Click to for detail – Thank you Phyllis for everything you’ve done… from pioneering the field of transgender law through ICLEPT to making it safer for trans folk to […]
