When Eve Palay first moved to Bainbridge, she was a stay-at-home parent — married with two young daughters. And for the most part, her family kept to themselves. But things changed. "The kids grew up, marriage ended. And I came out as trans," Palay said. "And as I came out, I really wanted to make sure that other people who needed to come out had an easier time and knew that there are people here."

Eve Palay speaks with Soundside's Supervising Producer Sarah Leibovitz about how she worked to create the community she needed when she first came out.

Eve is the cofounder of Rainbow Crew Northwest. You can find out more about that organization at www.rainbowcrewnw.org
