And welcome this very special moment here in San Francisco. I have the great honor to be your mc for this ocean im jupiter per asa. An occasion that is personal to me and close to my heart. For some context why that is, back in 2021 i wrote the initial draft proclamation that designating august as transgender History Month. I was inspired by the cafeteria riots on an august 9 in 1966. We dont know exactly what day it happened but we do know that it happened in august. I asked myself, why is it that we dont know what day it happened . It is monumental history. Why dont we know . The sad reality of it is that this monumental occurrence was so major and unlike anything that had ever occurred before at that scale in the United States , that an effort to eliminate it from records and existence ensued. It persisted. And because of it, watershed moments in the lbgtq Civil Rights Movement followed. Such as the stonewall riots of 1969. So, the idea transgender History Month began to take shape
