Honoring Trans Lives

We’ll continue the conversation we began on Mar 2 about this year’s Unitarian Universalist Association “Common Read,” Authentic Selves: Celebrating Trans and Nonbinary People and their Families. In the face of the administration’s aggressive actions, it is more important than ever that we recognize, support, and celebrate trans and nonbinary people in their full authenticity.
