Clothes? Live music? Free mom hugs? Find it all at Trans Pride Long Beach
As trans rights fell under attack in recent years, so did the need for the community to create its own pride celebration in Long Beach.
When Angel Marcias started going to candlelight vigils for trans people who’d been killed, they knew they had to do something.
“I just remember the sadness that I felt because there were a lot of members of the trans community that were being murdered at the hands of the people who supposedly loved them and wanted a relationship with them,” Macias said.
