Step Back in Time to the Glittering Era of Disco!?? Get ready to party like it’s Studio 54 at our disco-themed party on March 14th, from 7-10pm at The Academy SF! This unforgettable night will feature a Best Dress disco costume contest, DJ Dreams, and a celebration of the legendary Sylvester, the Queen of Disco? In honor of Sylvester’s iconic legacy, we’ll showcase special archival material graciously provided by the GLBT Historical Society, offering a rare glimpse into the life and artistry of this trailblazing performer. Relive the magic of March 11, 1979, when Mayor Dianne Feinstein declared “Sylvester Day”in San Francisco, commemorating his groundbreaking performance at the War Memorial Opera House—a night that elevated disco to the city’s most hallowed halls of art and culture. ??? ??? Sylvester, a Black, genderqueer visionary, defied norms and paved his own path with unapologetic joy and confidence. His timeless hit, “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real),” remains a disco anthem, and his legacy lives on through their music and their commitment to supporting AIDS organizations like Project Open Hand and the AIDS Emergency Fund. Don’t miss your chance to celebrate the Queen of San Francisco and the vibrant queer underground music scene that shaped the Tenderloin and SOMA neighborhoods. Register now via The Academy and join us for a night of glitter, glam, and disco magic! https://lnkd.in/g5d6U-Dh Let’s dance, celebrate, and honor the legacy of Sylvester—the one and only Queen of Disco! ??? #thetransgenderdistrict?#sylvester?#sfevents?#sanfrancisco

For us here at the District, Black History isn’t a moment—it’s a movement. It’s in every step we make, and every dream that becomes a reality. ???????? Our ancestor's sacrifices fuel our fight for advocacy, visibility, and a bright, joyful future that will shine for Trans, Two-Spirit, Non-Binary, and Intersex peoples for the next 7 generations. ??

Trans rights are human rights. No law, policy, or attempt to silence us will erase our existence. ????? #TheTransgenderDistrict #transrights #TransLiberation #wewillnotbeerased #transrightsarehumanrights

Dear Community, As we reflect on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy this MLK Day, we are reminded of his unwavering vision for freedom, equality, and justice. His dream of liberation continues to resonate deeply, especially for those of us in the TGNC community who face unique challenges. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream was a vision of unity; bringing together people of all backgrounds, regardless of skin color, religion, or socioeconomic status, to create a just and equitable society for all. Today, with the inauguration of a new presidency, we remain committed to holding leadership accountable to the promises of diversity, equity, and inclusion. This is a moment to recognize our power, honor our resilience, and work together toward a world where our voice is heard and every person is free to thrive. Let us move forward with boldness and hope, carrying Dr. King’s words in our hearts:? “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” In solidarity and strength, The Transgender District
