On today's Transgender Day of Visibility I want our trans community to know that we support you, we see you, and we will always walk beside you. Let us celebrate your joy, success, resilience, and courage today and everyday.🏳️‍⚧️

Statement from LGBTQIA+ Caucus Co-Chairs Chi Ossé and Justin Sanchez on Trans Day of Visibility

Conversion therapy is a discredited, harmful practice that puts LGBTQ+ young people at risk. New York will keep doing what’s right and protect our kids and continue to stand firmly on the side of dignity, safety, and equality. I’m proud to have written the legislation alongside @DeborahJGlick to ban this practice for our youth in New York State.

On Trans Day of Visibility, we stand with the trans, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming New Yorkers who make this city stronger. Today and every day, we recommit to protecting, affirming, and uplifting the trans community in our city. 🏳️‍⚧️

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York. Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue. We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

Gay Days at Disney aren't until June, though...

interACT Responds to New #IOC Policy Discriminating Against Intersex #Olympic Athletes. This is a devastating day for women athletes, who deserve to play the sport they love free from invasive sex testing, discrimination, and public scrutiny.  interactadvocates.org/interact-respo…

The IOC didn’t just target trans women with this decision: They opened the door to policing all women’s bodies.

Thank you @NYCMayor

@SenSchumer Get your caucus to block the DHS confirmation, now.

Lives are on the line. Tens of billions of dollars are being wasted. A gallon of gas now costs an average of $3.94. And THIS is all he has to say?

@Taniel which is itself very comeback coded

The Comeback is one of my favorite TV shows ever, and Lisa Kudrow is an absolute genius in it, and the scene of her singing I will survive still haunts me. And now it’s back after a decade, that all makes me nervous to watch it and revisit it!

Please join us in wishing @CMChiOsse a very happy birthday! 🎂

Please join us in wishing @CMRestler a happy birthday! 🎂

Actually incredible

it's not that hard man

Today, I signed an executive order establishing the first-ever Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs and appointing the brilliant Taylor Brown as Director. Queer New Yorkers deserve to be not just protected, but celebrated in this city. Together, we will fight for their right to live a life of dignity, safety, and unabashed pride.

We salute @NYCMayor's new Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs and welcome Taylor Brown as director, and the first trans person to lead a city agency. This amazing moment arrives after years of grassroots organizing for concrete city support for LGBTQ+ New Yorkers. them.us/story/zohran-m…

The attack in trans women has always been a movement to further police womanhood, because they think the only defining thing about a woman is being a feminine, subservient, heterosexual, maker of babies for men. They are just gender MAGA
