Members and supporters of San Francisco's transgender community joined Mayor London Breed and state Sen. Scott Wiener to kick off the third annual Transgender History Month by raising the transgender flag over City Hall on Thursday. In 2021, Breed declared the month of August as Transgender History Month , making San Francisco the first city in the nation to do so.
'We don't allow school districts in California to force teachers to out these kids to their parents.'The recent expansion of local and state advocacy to enhance protections for members of the transgender community comes at a time where trans rights are under threat across the country, Wiener said. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, 510 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced in the U.S. in 2023.
