Yesterday, transgender bloggers coordinated a special blogging day harnessing the power of the trans community and trans allies to show their support for Barack Obama and to make a difference in the 2008 election! Dozens of bloggers participated, posting on their sites and encouraging trans community members and allies to donate to the campaign through a page set up by the National Stonewall Democrats. By the end of the day hundreds of people had donated, sending the message that they support Obama and transgender equality!
Annie Rushden, of Gardens in Bloom, had this to say:
The transgender community and our allies play a vital role in electing candidates across the country. We need to support Barack Obama based on his strong record of advocacy for the LGBT community; we also need to make sure we measure the impact transgender people and our allies are having on the campaign.
Obama Pride is honored by the enthusiastic support of so many in the transgender community and we congratulate all the participants in Trans Blog for Obama day for their huge success!
