We have all seen the Legalize Gay t-shirt campaign that dominates American Apparel storefronts everywhere, and that is awesome visibility. However, one of The Advocate's "Top 40 Advocates Under 40", Asher Koleboi thought the campaign was too limiting. Oftentimes in GLBT movements, the "T" is marginalized, forgotten, underrepresented, or lost in the shuffle. However, we can no longer allow our trans friends, coworkers, neighbors, and lovers to become overshadowed at the expense of the rest of our movement progressing! Transgender people are everywhere and we need to make trans awareness and acceptance visible all over Cincinnati.
Come join the founder of the Legalize Trans* t-shirt campaign this Thursday night, January 27th at Below Zero Lounge for a karaoke party and fundraiser that celebrates the trans community and raises money to promote education, visibility, and even helps fund surgeries for trans folks near and far. The cover is FREE, but you can help out by buying a shirt there (or ordering one online), giving a donation, or buying a raffle ticket!
The karaoke starts at 10pm so come early and sign up to sing your heart out for Trans Equality and help a great cause in the meantime!
Below Zero Lounge 1122 Walnut Street Cincinnati, OH 45202
