Out Boulder County in Colorado is sponsoring a fabulous landmark Motus Theater performance of TRANSformative Stories at the Colorado Capitol in honor of Transgender Day of Visibility. The performance on Thursday March 28th from 8A to 9A will use real stories told by the people who lived them to honor the contributions, resilience & rights of transgender & nonbinary Coloradans. Rep. Brianna Titone, Colorado’s first & only transgender legislator will co-host with 13 other Colorado State legislators. Rep. Titone stated, "There are a lot of people who have been consuming bad information, misinformation & tropes, not the human narratives that TRANSformative Stories puts on stage. These are the kinds of personal stories people need to hear & need to see, especially for Transgender Day of Visibility.” The global celebration of Transgender Day of Visibility takes place annually on March 31st to raise awareness about transgender people. Mardi Moore, Executive Director of Out Boulder County concluded, “Our trans siblings are under attack, not just in this country but globally. While this dark reality drives much of the work we do at Out Boulder County, Trans Day of Visibility is a clapback at those who would silence & even eradicate the trans community. A project like TRANSformative Stories sends a clear message: Trans people exist; they are your classmates, coworkers, siblings & children. Trans rights are human rights." The event In Honor of Transgender Day of Visibility: Motus Theater Presents TRANSformative Stories is scheduled this Thursday March 28th at the Conference Center at the Colorado State Capitol & hopes to foster dialogue that bridges the gap between cultural understanding & legislative action, promoting an inclusive & supportive environment for all Coloradans.
