As Pride Month closed, Oak Park’s village government hosted a panel discussion on local transgender issues and experiences on June 28. Madison Street Theater, 1010 Madison St., was the venue for a conversation moderated by Darien Marion-Burton, president of the Oak Park and River Forest Chamber of Commerce, who introduced himself as the “youngest, Blackest, and gayest” president the organization has ever had. Panelists sat at a table decorated with Pride and transgender flags as audience members filed into the small black box theater. The five panel members represented PFLAG, the Oak Park Public Library and Oak Park and River Forest High School.
