In response to further attacks on Transgender Texans by our home state, the Local Queer Foundation presents Transistance: A Trans Community Benefit Brunch. Transistance is a fundraiser for the transgender community produced entirely by transgender creators featuring DJ Boyfriend ATX, an all-star transgender drag cast led by Alexander the Great, a pop-up market with transgender vendors, and brunch from Urban Cowboy Catering.

Funds raised at the event will be used to financially support transgender Texans in updating their legal documents to match their identity. We invite the queer community to show transgender Texans that they are not only welcome in Texas, but supported, represented, and celebrated.

The Local Queer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable not-for-profit. Monetary and in-kind donations are tax deductible. If you would like to become a sponsor, please email us at localqueeratx@localqueer.org.

If you would like to provide an in-kind donation for our silent auction, please use this form.
