I know most of you are probably based in New England like me, but I thought I’d pass along the fact that the Washington DC Trans Pride event is tomorrow! I didn’t even hear about this until today, so don’t feel bad if you didn’t know!
The point of the event is to “celebrate the Washington DC metro area Transgender community,” although since it’s being held in DC (Madison Hotel) it kind of doubles as an affirmation for all of us. Perhaps surprisingly, this event has been going on for the past THIRTY-FOUR years. The theme this year is “Generations of Pride: Celebrate and Remember—Stonewall at 40,” embracing the common theme of GLBT events this year and this June especially. The event schedule and registration ($10) is available online! (Check out http://www.capitaltranspride.org/)Apparently they’ve taken a lot of new steps this year to ensure that it runs smoothly and is better than ever before, so if you happen to be able to check it out, let the rest of us know what it was like!
If you know of any upcoming trans pride or educational events, lectures, and so on, please please please don’t hesitate to post about them or send me an email so that I can. We want to keep communicating, and pride events offer an opportunity like no other to do just that!
Connecticut Pride is ALSO tomorrow, and although not specifically Trans-targeted, it’ll undoubtedly be a good time and a great networking opportunity. Anyone going, feel free to let us know how it was!
