With trans rights under attack nationwide, this pilgrimage from Dolores Park to the Tenderloin’s Transgender District is where gender-nonconforming people and allies take up space. Instead of corporate floats, you’ll find protest signs affirming the diversity of the gender spectrum and calling for equal rights to healthcare and housing. The annual Bustin’ Out afterparty at El Rio after the march is a benefit for Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP), an organization that fights prison abuses and supports formerly incarcerated trans people. DJ sets by Dreams, Succubus, Honeybear and Lady Ryan will turn up the energy, and there’ll be a designated chill zone next door at Mothership with music by Piano Rain and Del. San Francisco’s all-Black drag show, Reparations, will host performances. Presales have sold out, so getting there early to snag door tickets is a must.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13936004\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1288px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13936004\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Cornelius.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1288\" height=\"725\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Cornelius.jpg 1288w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Cornelius-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Cornelius-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Cornelius-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Cornelius-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1288px) 100vw, 1288px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">VivvyAnne ForeverMORE! \u003ccite>(Marcel Pardo Ariza)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/forever-queer-pride-dancing-and-drag-tickets-915617696177?\">Forever-Queer Pride Dancing and Drag\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Friday, June 28, 9 p.m.–Saturday, June 29, 2 a.m.\u003cbr>\nThe Stud, San Francisco\u003cbr>\n$20\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legendary queer bar The Stud recently reopened its doors in SoMa, and drag performer Vivvyanne ForeverMORE! is kicking off a new party during Pride weekend: Forever.

With trans rights under attack nationwide, this pilgrimage from Dolores Park to the Tenderloin’s Transgender District is where gender-nonconforming people and allies take up space. Instead of corporate floats, you’ll find protest signs affirming the diversity of the gender spectrum and calling for equal rights to healthcare and housing. The annual Bustin’ Out afterparty at El Rio after the march is a benefit for Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP), an organization that fights prison abuses and supports formerly incarcerated trans people. DJ sets by Dreams, Succubus, Honeybear and Lady Ryan will turn up the energy, and there’ll be a designated chill zone next door at Mothership with music by Piano Rain and Del. San Francisco’s all-Black drag show, Reparations, will host performances. Presales have sold out, so getting there early to snag door tickets is a must.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13936004\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1288px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13936004\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Cornelius.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1288\" height=\"725\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Cornelius.jpg 1288w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Cornelius-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Cornelius-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Cornelius-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Cornelius-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1288px) 100vw, 1288px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">VivvyAnne ForeverMORE! \u003ccite>(Marcel Pardo Ariza)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/forever-queer-pride-dancing-and-drag-tickets-915617696177?\">Forever-Queer Pride Dancing and Drag\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Friday, June 28, 9 p.m.–Saturday, June 29, 2 a.m.\u003cbr>\nThe Stud, San Francisco\u003cbr>\n$20\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legendary queer bar The Stud recently reopened its doors in SoMa, and drag performer Vivvyanne ForeverMORE! is kicking off a new party during Pride weekend: Forever.

When it was time for audience questions, Black got on the mic to ask about how to get started as a DJ. “I got so nervous,” she recalls. “I was like, ‘Can you do this?’” She remembers Pam telling her, “This is not a male-driven thing. If you like music and you get out there and practice enough, you can be part of the scene. You can be part of the San Francisco nightlife.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Black took those words to heart. Over the past 30 years, she’s made a major impact on music and LGBTQ+ nightlife in the Bay Area as a DJ, a party producer and a mentor who’s taught her craft to over a dozen DJs, mostly women. And this Pride month, she’s getting the recognition she deserves: at the SF Pride Parade last weekend, she served as \u003ca href=\"https://sfpride.org/grand-marshals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Community Grand Marshal\u003c/a>—or, as Black calls it, Grand Marsha, in honor of the influential trans activist \u003ca href=\"https://ucnj.org/mpj/about-marsha-p-johnson/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marsha P.

Amid the benign, corporate-sponsored rainbow displays on Market Street, Black could be found behind the decks in the bed of a truck full of women partying and holding protest signs like “Abort the Court” and “Housing for Everyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Riding down that street, I was seeing how many people are happy that we’re back,” she says of the first in-person SF Pride celebration in two years. “They’re happy we’re having human touch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZ8a-KjeRC/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]B[/dropcap]lack hasn’t always felt so embraced. When she moved from Houston to San Francisco in the early ’90s to find a gay mecca, not everything was as she expected. She found that mainstream gay spaces in the Castro catered to white men, and lesbian parties prioritized white women. Clubs would often ask Black people for multiple forms of ID, she says, or ignore them for bar service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13914457']“That’s one of the reasons why I named myself Black, you know, because I wanted them to say it,” she says. “I don’t know what the problem is, but you need to say it,” she’d respond when people got uncomfortable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Black sought out safe spaces like Eagle Creek Tavern, San Francisco’s first Black-owned gay bar that opened in 1990, where she’d spin classic house records like Inner City’s “Big Fun.” In those days, she also DJed at the popular party Lift with David Harness, who helped popularize house music in the Bay Area with his show Your Momma’s House on KMEL.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13915644\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 414px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13915644\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/herstory.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"414\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/herstory.jpg 414w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/herstory-160x160.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The HERstory crew, circa 2002.

So over a stoned conversation one night, Black and her friends came up with a concept that would leave a mark on the Bay Area party scene for years to come. Along with fellow DJs Nadeeah, Saun Toy, Tei, Lauren, RaheNi and Ananda, she started the party A.B.L.U.N.T., which stood for Asians, Black and Latins Uniting New Tribes. It was one of the first parties—if not \u003ci>the\u003c/i> first—that centered queer women of color in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to be around each other just to hold ourselves up, just to know that we’re in the same plight,” Black says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the aforementioned discrimination at nightclubs, a lot of the A.B.L.U.N.T. parties happened at underground warehouses. “We were gonna play the stuff nobody wanted to play,” she continues. “They were banning hip-hop from clubs, at least from girl clubs and definitely from the queer scene.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late ’90s, Black also became part of the HERstory Crew, a multicultural, interdisciplinary artist collective of DJs, musicians, spoken word poets and visual and culinary artists. Her HERStory sisters helped her get bigger gigs, and she shared stages with Erykah Badu and The Roots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were a collective of women artists supporting artistry, and we’re still like that with each other to this day. We’re still friends,” Black says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13915645\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 414px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13915645\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/black-and-pam.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"414\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/black-and-pam.jpg 414w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/black-and-pam-160x160.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pam the Funkstress and Black (left to right) circa 2008. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Black)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]T[/dropcap]hat support was energizing for Black, and she decided to keep the cycle going. In the 2000s, she helped produce the popular queer parties Hella Gay and Ships in the Night.

They were playing songs off CDs, and Black offered to teach them how to use turntables. “She taught me how to mix using old-school house on vinyl, and I’ll never forget that experience,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was one of the main promoters at the time for the queer scene, and she would book us for her parties,” Emancipation continues. “So not only did she mentor us, but she provided a platform for our craft—she was so dedicated to us.

So over a stoned conversation one night, Black and her friends came up with a concept that would leave a mark on the Bay Area party scene for years to come. Along with fellow DJs Nadeeah, Saun Toy, Tei, Lauren, RaheNi and Ananda, she started the party A.B.L.U.N.T., which stood for Asians, Black and Latins Uniting New Tribes.

Her HERStory sisters helped her get bigger gigs, and she shared stages with Erykah Badu and The Roots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were a collective of women artists supporting artistry, and we’re still like that with each other to this day.

Scream it louder for the people in the back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her latest work, \u003ca href=\"https://www.frameline.org/films/frameline46/vulveeta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Vulveeta\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, filmmaker and activist Maria Breaux revisits the ’90s riot grrrl era—a feminist punk movement known for its do-it-yourself attitude. Reminiscent of a modern-day \u003cem>Spinal Tap\u003c/em>, the San Francisco-shot mockumentary follows 50-year-old Grrrilda and the resurrection of her band Vulveeta after a 20-year hiatus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspired by Breaux’s own experiences, Grrrilda is an aging rockstar who has tried really hard to heal herself even though she has this punk ethos of “Namaste, but f— you all.” “There’s pretty much nothing in the film that [she] had done that I haven’t done myself,” the actor and filmmaker says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grrrilda ghosted the band before their big break, and when she returns the city and its punk scene aren’t what she remembers. Rent has increased by tenfold. Tech bros have moved in. We’re not making zines like we used to. And apparently, social media marketing took over good ol’ grassroots efforts to spread the word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pulling from Breaux’s earlier days in sketch comedy, \u003cem>Vulveeta\u003c/em> is entirely improvised and character-driven. Breaux and the cast spent a year workshopping the film prior to filming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Improv is rooted in the notion of “Yes, and…” Rather than getting stuck or fighting against a statement, it’s the practice of accepting what’s said and building on that story. “The creativity continued all the way to our wrap day,” says associate producer and actor StormMiguel Florez. [aside postid='arts_13844019']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a long process of meeting up and slowly getting to know each other better, figuring out who my character Jett is,” says J Aguilar, who plays bassist Jett Groan. “Maria has a way of bringing people together to build community and trust and to collaborate in ways that allow each of us to shine and be seen, which is a rare and beautiful experience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://vimeo.com/629494852\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Vulveeta\u003c/em>—though comedic—emanates from a place of Breaux wanting to overcome trauma. In our interview, she opens up: “I got to this period of my life where I’m like, ‘OK, this is a time of healing and self-care and all these things…’ And I just went all out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In search of peace, the past 20 years have involved traditional therapy, acupuncture, ear candling and even a two-week trip to Peru’s Amazonian rainforests. “I [didn’t] care what it [was], just tell me what to do. And I’m gonna have this wild time trying it out,” Breaux says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rock-umentary was crowd-funded and featured a cast that included her entire family and close friends. Breaux’s wife, Sarah Korda—who plays Vulveeta’s newest band member, Harriet—was hesitant at first, but with a little persuasion grew to love the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was special for me as a performer to remember that part of myself. I love improv! This experience reignited my love of creativity, which is central in all my work, whether it’s performance or in my private psychotherapy practice,” Korda says. “[It’s a] reminder of how creative and funny much of life can be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their 25-year-old daughter, Dakota Billops-Breaux, who has worked with her mom since she was four years old, says, “Being on set, I always pick up skills that are surprisingly applicable in video content I create in my everyday life—how to frame a shot, where to point the microphone to best pick up a voice, tips on improvising—and this time was no different.” In Vulveeta, Billops-Breaux plays Killer Child, the once-two-year-old badass drummer who now wishes to be seen for who she is rather than work she’s done in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film takes us into the questions that can arise in artist’s mind: What does it mean to keep pushing even when you get lost in your own demons along the way? And how do we navigate the waves of an evolving society and culture?\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13915117\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13915117\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Vulveeta-03-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Vulveeta-03-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Vulveeta-03-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Vulveeta-03-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Vulveeta-03-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Vulveeta-03-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Vulveeta-03-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Vulveeta-03-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cast of ‘Vulveeta.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Maria Breaux)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Though San Francisco has changed tremendously, Breaux chooses to highlight the good and what’s still here. She celebrates the blooming artists, shout outs San Francisco Arts Commission for continuing their local programs, and—from a parent’s point of view—expresses gratitude for new parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In creating \u003cem>Vulveeta\u003c/em>, Breaux was reminded of the unconditional love and support of her close circle. “Change is possible. I know that for myself, scientifically, you know, you can kind of recircuit, if you will, parts of the brain so that you’re triggered less,” she explains. “I did a lot of work to get through it, but also a lot of people helped me overcome it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breaux—who currently works a day job at Common Sense Media—has won numerous filmmaking awards, including Frameline33’s Audience Award for Best Short for \u003cem>Lucha\u003c/em> and the Silver Remi Award at WorldFest-Houston for \u003cem>Mother Country\u003c/em>. In 2013, she was a contributing cinematographer on \u003cem>99%–The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film\u003c/em>, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival. As a solo sketch comedian, she’s performed at local venues, such as Theatre Rhinoceros, Josie’s Cabaret and Luna Sea. [aside postid='arts_13914904']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much like how improv comedy rolls with the punches, \u003cem>Vulveeta\u003c/em> reminds us that there’s acceptance to be found in understanding life as a work in progress. It’s an ongoing game of “Yes, and…” As Breaux says, “I expect this journey of mine to be a lifelong one—with stops, starts, detours, roadblocks and long, carefree stretches of open road along the way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up next, Breaux will be co-producing and acting in Sundance fellow Florez’ upcoming project \u003ca href=\"https://womenandhollywood.com/sundance-institute-introduces-intensive-for-trans-artists-of-color/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Welcome to Roswell\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, a film about a trans filmmaker whose plans to come out to his family are interrupted by his partner’s fixation on the 1947 UFO incident. She is also in early development for a feature film on Duane Fitzpatrick, her hometown neighbor who was sentenced to 27-years-to-life in prison in 1987 and maintains his innocence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Art has always been healing and transformative. And at their heart, art and activism are acts of love. So, at the most basic level, I hope we see more love in the world. I’d love to see more kindness. There are so many pointed fingers,” Breaux says. “It’d be really great to see more empathy, and more attempts at understanding and finding common ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>As part of Frameline46, \u003c/em>Vulveeta\u003cem> will \u003ca href=\"https://www.frameline.org/films/frameline46/vulveeta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">screen at Roxie Theatre in San Francisco on Saturday, June 25, at 6pm\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Bay Area’s own David Harness and Nina Sol join them on the bill; Harness helped popularize house in the Bay Area in the early ’90s as a DJ on KMEL’s Yo Momma’s House, and remains one of the most sought-after DJs in the scene.

Despite great advances since the first Trans March in 2004, many trans people still feel excluded from Pride and from LGBTQ+ communities in San Francisco.

But it wasn’t always like this. [aside postid='arts_13844019']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Though trans women of color like \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13844019/ah-mer-ah-sus-major-soundtrack-feeds-the-spirit-of-trans-resistance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Miss Major Griffin-Gracy\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Rivera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sylvia Rivera\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsha_P._Johnson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marsha P. Johnson\u003c/a> played an essential role in the Stonewall uprising of 1969—a riot against police brutality in New York City that sparked the modern-day gay rights movement—by the early 1970s, when Pride first came together, there was no particular space for people who wanted to celebrate transgender identity. In fact, the gay, lesbian and bisexual community often discriminated against trans people. This is reflective of the era, as transgender people were grossly misunderstood, and there were scant services available for people living as their true gender. Additionally, the gay movement had become much more mainstream—and became dominated by the white, male masculine aesthetic that characterizes it to this day.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13859036\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13859036\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/06/trans-march-2004-2-cecilia-chung.jpg\" alt=\"The first Trans March in 2004 reclaimed the trans community's rightful place in San Francisco's Pride celebration.\" width=\"720\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/06/trans-march-2004-2-cecilia-chung.jpg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/06/trans-march-2004-2-cecilia-chung-160x106.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The first Trans March in 2004 reclaimed the trans community’s rightful place in San Francisco’s Pride celebration. \u003ccite>(Cecilia Chung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Furthermore, the gay rights movement found success with a conformist message geared towards assimilation into straight norms. Some gay and lesbian organizers feared that the inclusion of trans people would undermine the movement’s gains. These divisions were highlighted in 1973, when homosexuality was officially removed as a mental illness from the American Psychiatric Association’s \u003ci>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. \u003c/i>It would take another 40 years for gender identity disorder, the diagnosis that was generally given to trans people, to become similarly destigmatized in 2013.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> These factors set the stage for what happened in 1973, when Pride became openly hostile toward trans people. In \u003ci>Transgender History\u003c/i>, transgender historian Susan Stryker recounts that in that year, San Francisco Pride consisted of two main events: one was a trans-friendly event, organized by gay activist and Pentecostal preacher Reverend Raymond Broshears; the other event “expressly forbid transgender people from participating.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> According to Styker, the transphobic event was the more successful one, setting the tone for decades to come: “Broshears never organized another Gay Pride event, while the anti-drag event became the forerunner of the current San Francisco LGBTQ+ Pride celebration.” (In the ’70s, people often didn’t distinguish between drag queens and transgender women. Many lesbian activists at the time believed that drag was “misogynist,” hence the Stryker’s use of “anti-drag.”) [aside postid='arts_13835520']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> Transgender activist Cecilia Chung says that by 2004 things were quite different, and the San Francisco Pride organization was very willing to support a march devoted to trans empowerment. That year, an anonymous email circulated, calling on anyone who was gender nonconforming to march in conjunction with SF Pride weekend. A number of local activists came together around the call-to-action and decided to take on the responsibility of turning the gathering into a well-organized march.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> Chung, who was on the board of directors of SF Pride at the time, took on fundraising for the original Trans March. She says it raised between $3,000 and $5,000, which went into sound systems, a performance space and safety minders. Pride and the Dyke March pitched in with logistical support and Porta Potties. The sex shop Good Vibrations, which has long been a trans-friendly employer, donated water and other beverages. Altogether, somewhere around 3,000 people marched in 2004, starting at Dolores Park and making their way to Civic Center.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> Chung says that the first Trans March was undertaken for a number of reasons, a major one being to demand justice for \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/14/the-murder-of-gwen-araujo/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gwen Araujo\u003c/a>. Araujo was a trans woman who was brutally beaten to death in 2002 by four men who discovered she was transgender after flirting with her, and, in the case of two, having sexual relations. The trial began shortly before the first Trans March in April 2004, with Gloria Allred representing Araujo’s family. A mistrial had just been declared. It was a bitter setback for trans rights. (Eventually, two of the men were convicted of second-degree murder; the other two pleaded guilty and no contest to manslaughter.) [aside postid='arts_13858167']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> Allred and the family of Gwen Araujo attended the march, and they were not the only high-profile visitors. Senator Kamala Harris, who at the time was San Francisco District Attorney, was there, along with a number of other prominent local politicians. The politicized tone of fighting back against injustice, inequity and the brutal murders of trans people became a central part of the Trans March that continues to this day. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> There has been a lot to fight about. The 2008 march raged against Democrats in Congress, who, led by then-congressman Barney Frank, chose to dump trans people from an LGB-friendly version of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/House-cuts-transgender-people-from-hate-crimes-2538277.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Employment Non-Discrimination Act\u003c/a> with the support of the Human Rights Campaign.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13859037\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13859037\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/06/hire-trans-lgbt-center-800x723.jpg\" alt=\"The SF LGBT center promotes its trans employment resource program at the 2017 Trans March.\" width=\"800\" height=\"723\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/06/hire-trans-lgbt-center.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/06/hire-trans-lgbt-center-160x145.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/06/hire-trans-lgbt-center-768x694.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The SF LGBT center promotes its trans employment resource program at the 2017 Trans March. \u003ccite>(SF LGBT Center)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The 2016 Trans March gave a key piece of transgender history a permanent space in San Francisco when it concluded with the renaming of a Tenderloin street in remembrance of the historic riot at Compton’s Cafeteria, which took place in 1966, three years before Stonewall. This incident, in which gay and transgender patrons came together to demand equal treatment and defy police harassment, was a turning point for LGBTQ+ rights. In late 2018, part of the Tenderloin became designated as the world’s first \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11717648/worlds-first-transgender-culture-district-looks-to-the-past-and-the-future\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Transgender Cultural District\u003c/a>. This was a much-needed victory at a time when the Trump administration introduced plans to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/21/us/politics/transgender-trump-administration-sex-definition.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">severely undermine trans rights\u003c/a>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> Chung recalls that the original Trans March was an important means of bringing together activists in the Bay Area, creating an atmosphere ripe for cross-pollination. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.castrocountryclub.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Castro Country Club\u003c/a>, a space that supports LGBTQ+ people in substance-abuse recovery, was instrumental in producing fundraisers for the first march, establishing links between different segments of the LGBTQ+ community. Furthermore, organizations like \u003ca href=\"http://tgsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Transgender San Francisco\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftmi.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FTM International\u003c/a>—the first organization specifically founded to advance the interests of transmasculine people—began to meet up and work toward collaboration. “A lot of things started around that time,” Chung says, including quarterly transgender events at the SF LGBT Center, and community town halls with some 500 people in attendance.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> The march also brought about a heightened profile for transgender advocacy. Chung recalls that in advance of the second march in 2005, she was interviewed by a television reporter from England. People were coming from far away to participate in the 2005 march, and the San Francisco organizers began cooperating with a similar event in New York City, arranging bicoastal transgender events on the same day.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Trans March today\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Chung says that while Pride has come to be more of a celebration than a political act, today’s Trans March very much reflects its radical roots. “The march is always meant to be a political statement,” she says. This is a necessity, as trans people are still so far from having full equality under the law, as well as simply having the resources necessary to live and celebrate their identity. Reflecting the radical spirit that has led the transgender movement to find creative ways to support itself and demand its rights, the organization of the march is highly democratized, with regularly rotating leadership and an emphasis on volunteerism over institutionalization to ensure the flow of new ideas. [aside postid='arts_13858699']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> Recent developments in the Trans March reflect that spirit. Satya says that the Youth and Elder Brunch, which began in 2012, “opens up an important opportunity for dialog between generations.” In a community that still remains fractured along lines of class and age, the brunch provides a vital means of building trans community and inclusivity, staying true to the march’s earliest foundations.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> While the Trans March is an annual reminder of the many gains that trans people have made since 2004, Satya says that it’s also a way of illuminating the things that are still to be done. With the Trump administration allowing doctors to \u003ca href=\"https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/05/the-trump-administration-just-said-religious-doctors-can-refuse-medical-treatment-for-patients/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deny of medical services to transgender patients\u003c/a>, banning transgender servicemembers from the military and threatening to define trans people out of existence, there is a lot of action needed before trans people have their full rights as American citizens. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“We’ll keep marching until we don’t have to any more,” Satya says. “I hope that one day we’ll pass an equality act and won’t have discrimination anywhere, but until then we need to keep marching and fighting.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The “LBG” movement has not always been inclusive to the “T,” so the LGBT Center is one of many organizations that prioritizes sending a message of openness and collaboration.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The fight for trans inclusion at Pride\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Nowadays the Trans March is an essential part of Pride, lasting an entire day and featuring a youth and elder brunch, resource fair, transformation booth, speakers and performances.

In fact, the gay, lesbian and bisexual community often discriminated against trans people. This is reflective of the era, as transgender people were grossly misunderstood, and there were scant services available for people living as their true gender. Additionally, the gay movement had become much more mainstream—and became dominated by the white, male masculine aesthetic that characterizes it to this day.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13859036\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13859036\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/06/trans-march-2004-2-cecilia-chung.jpg\" alt=\"The first Trans March in 2004 reclaimed the trans community's rightful place in San Francisco's Pride celebration.\" width=\"720\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/06/trans-march-2004-2-cecilia-chung.jpg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/06/trans-march-2004-2-cecilia-chung-160x106.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The first Trans March in 2004 reclaimed the trans community’s rightful place in San Francisco’s Pride celebration. \u003ccite>(Cecilia Chung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Furthermore, the gay rights movement found success with a conformist message geared towards assimilation into straight norms. Some gay and lesbian organizers feared that the inclusion of trans people would undermine the movement’s gains. These divisions were highlighted in 1973, when homosexuality was officially removed as a mental illness from the American Psychiatric Association’s \u003ci>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. \u003c/i>It would take another 40 years for gender identity disorder, the diagnosis that was generally given to trans people, to become similarly destigmatized in 2013.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> These factors set the stage for what happened in 1973, when Pride became openly hostile toward trans people. In \u003ci>Transgender History\u003c/i>, transgender historian Susan Stryker recounts that in that year, San Francisco Pride consisted of two main events: one was a trans-friendly event, organized by gay activist and Pentecostal preacher Reverend Raymond Broshears; the other event “expressly forbid transgender people from participating.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> According to Styker, the transphobic event was the more successful one, setting the tone for decades to come: “Broshears never organized another Gay Pride event, while the anti-drag event became the forerunner of the current San Francisco LGBTQ+ Pride celebration.” (In the ’70s, people often didn’t distinguish between drag queens and transgender women. Many lesbian activists at the time believed that drag was “misogynist,” hence the Stryker’s use of “anti-drag.”) \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That year, an anonymous email circulated, calling on anyone who was gender nonconforming to march in conjunction with SF Pride weekend. A number of local activists came together around the call-to-action and decided to take on the responsibility of turning the gathering into a well-organized march.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> Chung, who was on the board of directors of SF Pride at the time, took on fundraising for the original Trans March. She says it raised between $3,000 and $5,000, which went into sound systems, a performance space and safety minders. Pride and the Dyke March pitched in with logistical support and Porta Potties. The sex shop Good Vibrations, which has long been a trans-friendly employer, donated water and other beverages. Altogether, somewhere around 3,000 people marched in 2004, starting at Dolores Park and making their way to Civic Center.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> Chung says that the first Trans March was undertaken for a number of reasons, a major one being to demand justice for \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/14/the-murder-of-gwen-araujo/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gwen Araujo\u003c/a>. Araujo was a trans woman who was brutally beaten to death in 2002 by four men who discovered she was transgender after flirting with her, and, in the case of two, having sexual relations. The trial began shortly before the first Trans March in April 2004, with Gloria Allred representing Araujo’s family. A mistrial had just been declared. It was a bitter setback for trans rights. (Eventually, two of the men were convicted of second-degree murder; the other two pleaded guilty and no contest to manslaughter.) \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Senator Kamala Harris, who at the time was San Francisco District Attorney, was there, along with a number of other prominent local politicians. The politicized tone of fighting back against injustice, inequity and the brutal murders of trans people became a central part of the Trans March that continues to this day. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> There has been a lot to fight about.

This incident, in which gay and transgender patrons came together to demand equal treatment and defy police harassment, was a turning point for LGBTQ+ rights. In late 2018, part of the Tenderloin became designated as the world’s first \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11717648/worlds-first-transgender-culture-district-looks-to-the-past-and-the-future\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Transgender Cultural District\u003c/a>. This was a much-needed victory at a time when the Trump administration introduced plans to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/21/us/politics/transgender-trump-administration-sex-definition.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">severely undermine trans rights\u003c/a>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> Chung recalls that the original Trans March was an important means of bringing together activists in the Bay Area, creating an atmosphere ripe for cross-pollination. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.castrocountryclub.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Castro Country Club\u003c/a>, a space that supports LGBTQ+ people in substance-abuse recovery, was instrumental in producing fundraisers for the first march, establishing links between different segments of the LGBTQ+ community. Furthermore, organizations like \u003ca href=\"http://tgsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Transgender San Francisco\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftmi.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FTM International\u003c/a>—the first organization specifically founded to advance the interests of transmasculine people—began to meet up and work toward collaboration. “A lot of things started around that time,” Chung says, including quarterly transgender events at the SF LGBT Center, and community town halls with some 500 people in attendance.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> The march also brought about a heightened profile for transgender advocacy. Chung recalls that in advance of the second march in 2005, she was interviewed by a television reporter from England. People were coming from far away to participate in the 2005 march, and the San Francisco organizers began cooperating with a similar event in New York City, arranging bicoastal transgender events on the same day.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Trans March today\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Chung says that while Pride has come to be more of a celebration than a political act, today’s Trans March very much reflects its radical roots. “The march is always meant to be a political statement,” she says. This is a necessity, as trans people are still so far from having full equality under the law, as well as simply having the resources necessary to live and celebrate their identity. Reflecting the radical spirit that has led the transgender movement to find creative ways to support itself and demand its rights, the organization of the march is highly democratized, with regularly rotating leadership and an emphasis on volunteerism over institutionalization to ensure the flow of new ideas. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Satya says that the Youth and Elder Brunch, which began in 2012, “opens up an important opportunity for dialog between generations.” In a community that still remains fractured along lines of class and age, the brunch provides a vital means of building trans community and inclusivity, staying true to the march’s earliest foundations.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> While the Trans March is an annual reminder of the many gains that trans people have made since 2004, Satya says that it’s also a way of illuminating the things that are still to be done.
