Other Massachusetts groups with transgender focus

Public Health, Massachusetts style: Fenway Community Health Center’s “Dr. Cox”.

 

This is a man walking with transgender girls at Youth Pride 2007 in Boston, sponsored by the “Friends of the Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth” and BAGLY. (MassResistance was told  by the BAGLY office manager that this man was a “performer” at that event.) If passed, Bill H1722 will promote such events with our school children all over the state, not just in Boston, not just once a year.
