In our society, there are many social repercussions to being LGBTQ+, but there are legal ones too—ones many of us don’t have to interface with. For our trans neighbors, overcoming the legal hurdles for changing names and gender on government forms (among others) can become a journey in its own right.
This month, we’re excited to welcome long-term Assembler and band-member Reid Guthrie to the stage. Reid and his wife Kathy will be speaking to their experiences navigating municipal and state bureaucracy on behalf of their trans and gender non-conforming children.
We hope you’ll join us in learning more about how the state’s offices and systems affect our LGBTQ youth, and how the adults in their lives can support them on their journeys to live their life, their way.
