"Trans-forming" Our Community
Sixteenth Street's
HIV Department celebrated their annual "Trans-forming" Our Community, Transgender Gala, this month. The gala was started four years ago to help bring awareness and celebrate the Transgender community in Milwaukee. In conjunction with
Transgender Awareness Month and
World AIDS Day, this event is organized to help remember Transgender people who have lost their lives to violence and HIV/AIDS, to educate the community and have a safe space where Transgender people can come together to celebrate each other.
The event consisted of dinner, dancing, music, a short program and the unveiling of the new 2016-2017 Transgender Calendar.
