It’s transgender day of visibility, a day all of us in Florida — even Ron DeSantis — should celebrate. Transgender people have always been here — fighting for equality, leading, and building. From Stonewall and the Compton Cafeteria to today, trans individuals have been at the forefront of every fight for the LGBTQ+ community.
All of us deserve to live under the trans agenda: healthcare, housing, education, a good job with fair wages and the freedom to live authentically and without fear. The message of the Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus to each transgender American is simple: We see you. We celebrate you. We fight with you. We go nowhere without you. Trans strength, joy, and leadership shape our history and our future.
To our allies: Visibility means action. Speak up. Show up.
To everyone: Equality is not debatable.
And none of us is equal until all of us are equal.

President, Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus
