Parents Launch Support Group for LGBTQ Families

Transgender advocacy is gaining momentum across multiple fronts as families and individuals seek support and recognition. Danielle Killay launched a support group for parents of LGBTQ children in Worcester, emphasizing the need for community resources amid rising anti-trans sentiment. Meanwhile, a briefing on LGBTQ marriage and family protections is set for November 20, 2024, organized by leading LGBTQ organizations to address concerns post-election. In India, the political representation of the LGBTQIA community remains a critical issue, with activists highlighting the neglect of their rights by political parties during elections. In California, transgender artist Mars Wright expressed relief over having completed his gender-affirming surgeries, while highlighting concerns about future access to such care under potential federal changes. Advocates stress the importance of state protections in safeguarding access to gender-affirming treatments amidst evolving political landscapes.
