Pride with Purpose

Join Parents of Trans Youth in raising money for Equality Texas this Pride month!

Equality Texas is the largest statewide nonprofit fighting for LGBTQIA+ Texans and does it all: political action, education, community organizing, and collaboration.

We both share the same goal of fighting for Texas trans kids, and Parents of Trans Youth supports their work 100%.

Equality Texas has played a huge part in my advocacy journey, teaching me how to testify at the Texas legislature, training me on current LGBTQ+ issues, and giving me friendships for a lifetime.

This equality rockstar organization needs our help raising funds through their "Pride with Purpose" campaign. Even $10-25 makes an impact.

Thank you. Equality Texas is the real deal.

AND one of them finds out that she actually is trans. The friend I saw it with is also the parent of a trans young adult, and we laughed til we cried, probably because we’re Gen X and appreciated this 80s- and 90s-style teen romp. But also,...

Join Raquel Willis for an inspiring conversation

It’s paperback launch day for author and activist Raquel Willis’s memoir, The Risk It Takes to Bloom: On Life and Liberation! Parents of Trans Youth is hosting Raquel for a live conversation about the book on June 30 at 8pm EDT, and I want you there, Reader. “ Structured in seasons — rooting, budding, pruning, and blooming — this memoir is not a story of linear triumph, but of ongoing transformation. With lyrical precision and moral clarity, Willis examines what liberation truly demands: not...

Stand in the gap

I am devastated, angry, and heartbroken - not only from thinking about my transgender friends, but also thinking about my transgender children, and how Persia’s family was treated so horribly by the Houston...
