At the start of the 20th annual Trans March in San Francisco's Dolores Park, participants talked about what's at stake in the face of harassment and recent anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Over the past year, the transgender community has become a target of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.
As the crowd gathered at Dolores Park Friday evening, Sweet Candi, a transgender advocate who first attended this march in 2008, shared her thoughts. "Throughout the years, we've taken two steps forward, and we're pulled back four steps, but today as we stand here, there are many positive laws for the LGTBQ+ community, but we're still getting pulled back," Cooper said.
