Angel City FC, a National Women’s Soccer League expansion team in Los Angeles, is presenting an “all ages” transgender pride festival featuring the drag group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
The event is to be held June 16th and 17th.
“This all-ages, free event expects 2,000+ attendees over two days,” according to the event’s website.
The trans pride festival will also hold workshops such as “Advocacy 101,” “Kinkables – Affordable Household Kink,” and “Revolting Gender: Sex and Playing with Gender.”
Reporting from The Daily Wire:
Meanwhile, the event website says, “Trans Pride LA has taken on a very specific urgency” because of the “over 500 pieces of anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in our country, we are seeing a dramatic escalation of transphobic rhetoric.” It also bemoaned the “criminalization of transgender health care,” which includes puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible sex change operations. While Angel City FC is listed as the event’s “presenting sponsor,” other companies, like Telemundo and Comcast NBCUniversal, are listed as “official sponsors.” A list of “supporting sponsors” includes ADP and Pacific Western Bank, while American Airlines is the event’s “official airline partner.”
