What it Means to be Transgender in Today’s World - Liam Paschall

As I count my blessings this Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the opportunity to be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community that is deeply hurting.

The recent Q Club killings in Colorado Springs are the latest example of the searing hate and violence gripping our nation.

Hate toward those considered to be “the other” — simply for existing as who they are.

Those of us who call ourselves allies must do our part. Re-posting this episode is one step in doing my part to bring awareness, understanding and empathy to a community deserving of love and acceptance.

Last April, Liam Paschall first shared his story as a transgender man with the OVM audience. In the wake of the Q Club mass shooting, Liam’s message is more important than ever.

I am thankful that he has the courage to speak out and stand in his truth.

I ask that you have the courage to listen.
