The National LGBTQ Wall of Honor at the Stonewall Inn honored seven transgender trailblazers posthumously, highlighting their vital roles in the LGBTQ+ rights movement. This year’s inductees include significant figures such as Ruddy Martinez and Jiggly Caliente, chosen during a time of increasing attacks on the transgender community. Representatives from the National LGBTQ Task Force emphasized the importance of recognizing trans history and legacies, calling for solidarity and continued activism for trans and nonbinary rights amidst current political challenges.
This year's focus on transgender trailblazers and changemakers underscores the importance of recognizing our history and the current climate for our trans siblings.
In these times, when there are radical and extreme campaigns trying to erase our transgender community, the Imperial Courts and Task Force are reminding us all that transgender people have not only always been here, but have also been some of our community's most dedicated activists and leaders.
