LGBTQ activists, non-profit leaders, and state lawmakers gathered at the State Capitol Building in Albany on April 25 for a dedicated advocacy day to rally support for several legislative proposals focused on transgender, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and intersex (TGNCNBI) New Yorkers.
Advocates with New York Transgender Advocacy Group and New Pride Agenda, backed by out state lawmakers Tony Simone and Brad Hoylman-Sigal, led the way in facilitating what was described as the first TGNCNBI Advocacy Day in Albany. It came at a timely moment when many Republican-led states have been working aggressively to restrict transgender rights, especially for youth, in healthcare, sports, and other areas.
