We see each of you in your beautiful, perfect and glorious selves. We see your euphoria and trans joy. We see you living your lives as they were meant to be lived. We see you overcoming barriers, obstacles, and discrimination. We see and support you and are working towards better days for all of us. We invite you to join us to show your support and appreciation of the transgender community. Entertainment, food and beverages will be on hand and we hope you will join us as we proudly support those who are transgender! Click here for more information.
