Community events celebrate transgender visibility, but LGBTQ groups face safety and funding concerns.

The DC Trans Picnics event and Philadelphia's Trans Day of Visibility celebrations highlight community support and visibility for transgender individuals. Mitchell Foster, a nonbinary individual, shares their journey of self-discovery and resilience in the face of societal pressures. Meanwhile, D.C. queer bar owners are worried about safety at the upcoming WorldPride event, and Whitman-Walker, a health organization for LGBTQ individuals, faces a 40% cut in federal research funding, potentially impacting services.
