Today, March 31st, is #TransDayOfVisibility. Just over 11% of LGBT adults identify as transgender. Founded in 2009, what began as a day of awareness has evolved to become a day to celebrate trans and non-binary people, and a day for allies and advocates to show their support.

How can you support the community and be a good ally?

Educate yourself. Listen. Donate to a LGBTQ+ cause.
