About 40 people braved the pouring rain and a tornado watch to show their solidarity for transgender youth and adults Friday in Grant Park as a part of International Transgender Day of Visibility.
“It’s fantastic to be among the community. But also this is in support of people who are actively being targeted and/or who are going to die as a result of countless states chipping away at people’s rights to live,” said Florence Boggs, one of the organizers of the event, one of about 100 marches happening across the country.
