Trans Awareness Month in San Francisco. Just have a seat and ignore the reserved seats signs because everybody for the reserved seats signs are probably behind me. Happy trans Awareness Week in San Francisco. We need to do it bigger. Lets do a month, and this is where we are, celebrating so many amazing things, so many amazing accomplishments. But we also know, sadly, that our Trans Community all over the country is under attack. Just recently, sadly, we shouldnt be surprised, but the president has rolled out some new discriminatory plan against our Trans Community, trying to take away millions of dollars of federal funds from our cities throughout the country. And we are of course, in San Francisco style, going to continue to fight back time and time again against the discrimination that continues to attract attack our Trans Community here in this city.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support and work. These events are done with love, and it takes resources to make them happen, so thank you so much.

Please welcome supervisor raphael mandelman. [applause] supervisor mandelman thank you claire. And as others have said, thank you so much for the extraordinary work that you and your office do. And thank you, tom horn. The mayor was whispering to me before we started that tom horn always comes through. Thank you. [applause] supervisor mandelman i guess ill begin where senator wiener finished, in that harvey milk knew how important queer representation is, how important it was for people to come out, and for people to be elected and serve.
