I am a LGBTQIA supporter. On this day the contributions of trans people are being recognized. They face unfair discrimination. Laws are being passed that are cruel and heinous. I know several trans people, and they are just wanting to live their lives without fear.

The transgender community has made so many contributions to our society. Jazz Jennings, Rachel Levine, Dylan Mulvaney, Laverne Cox, Sarah McBride, Elliot Page, Nyla Rose, Gisele Shaw, Janet Mock, and so many others have made our lives culturally richer and better.

I so wish that the bullying of trans and other non-conforming people would stop. They didn’t ask for any of this. Live free trans people. You are loved.
