Miller overcame fear of hate and outing herself to the world when she took the stage recently at the Dayton Pride Festival. She talked about the pain she faced being a transgender woman, the strength she draws from her parents and her journey to wholeness. Clair Street said most transgender people did everything they could to hide when she was coming of age and even long after she had the sex reassignment surgery at age 19 in Montreal, Canada in November Due to social media and other societal shifts, Miller says it is nearly impossible for the transgender youth that come into her salon these days to hide — nor should they.
In the Dayton area, an active support group for transgender, non-conforming, non-binary and allies is the Gatlyn Dame Group. The group gathers for discussion once per month and schedules a monthly social event, as well. Attendance for the discussion gathering may average 25 or so persons of various identities, backgrounds, and ages. Parents of non-conforming kids, medical professionals, lgbt activists and others are countered as allies that are active participants. Social events are intended to be family-friendly and have included picnics, a trip to the Air Force Museum, and visits to different restaurants.
By no means is this an expected list of LGBT-friendly cities. How did the voting work? The cities were given points in six possible categories, including trans-inclusivity, the number of pro-equality mosques and LGBT-friendly synagogues, and if tours of Wicked , The Book of Mormon , and Kinky Boots were playing, among a couple others. The points were then divided by the population to provide a ranking based on a per capita LGBT quotient.
