🌈Happy Harvey Milk Day!

Harvey Milk was a visionary civil and human rights leader who became one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States when he won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. (harveymilk.com)

May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, & Biphobia ( ). Both in the US and abroad, today is a global moment of solidarity and resistance for LGBTQIA+ communities.

True democracy must be built on inclusion, and thus we lift up and celebrate LGBTQIA+ people. This community has always been at the heart of movements for justice and freedom – organizing, resisting, and caring for one another.

You may be in a place where you don't feel safe expressing who you are. Know that there are people out there standing in solidarity with you, today and every day.

🩵🤍🩷Happy International Trans Day of Visibility!🩷🤍🩵

In the midst of uncertainty and fear, especially for trans, nonbinary, 2Spirit, and gender nonconforming friends in Kansas, today is a day to celebrate the beauty, courage, and joy of those who came before us, those who will come after us, and ourselves.

[ID: The trans flag colors of blue, pink, white, pink, and blue feature the words Trans Day of Visibility, with pink and blue butterflies flitting about, and a banner in the top right of March 31]
