Pride Month in June is an opportunity to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and the progress made since the Stonewall Riots beginning on June 28, 1969,  in New York City. But there is still work to be done for Maine's transgender community.

In this episode of our "Maine Ties" podcast, Quinn Gormley, executive director of Maine Transgender Network, discusses the issues transgender people in Maine face and the additional challenges for older transgender people and those living in rural communities.

The Maine Community Foundation's Equity Fund has awarded MaineTransNet $21,500 to support its work to make Maine a safe and healthy place for transgender people.
