The TransLatin@ Coalition was featured in a wonderful article in the Los Angeles Times highlighting the importance of Pride celebrations this year.

From the article:

Bamby Salcedo, president and chief executive of the TransLatin@ Coalition, said that with right-wing politicians seemingly using transgender people “as political pawns” to “gain votes and to cater to extremist people,” it feels especially important this year to be marching.
