I recently sat down with the Sound of the State to discuss the importance of #TransgenderAwarenessWeek. As the first openly gay person in the Illinois Senate, it is important that I uplift the Transgender community and recognize their long legacy of advocating for the rights and liberties of the entire LGBTQ+community. We must work together to protect our Transgender friends and family members and honor those we have lost. I hope you enjoy this short podcast recording! Click here to listen: http://bit.ly/3hDihVi
