Listeners, we're back this week with Rachel and Frank Gonzales.

Frank and Rachel Gonzales live in Dallas, Texas with their three children and two great Pyrenees. They have been fiercely advocating for the transgender community since their daughter, Libby, transitioned 5 years ago. Their efforts have been amplified significantly over the last years as the Texas legislature attempts to attack and discriminate against trans youth with several discriminatory bills. They have testified several times at the Texas Capitol, spoken at rallies and protests, and held a media presence in the fight for equality for transgender Texans.As the parents of a transgender child, equality for LGBTQ youth is their passion. They are members of DFW Trans Kids & Families, Rainbow Roundup, and serve on the Human Rights Campaign Parents for Transgender Equality Council.

Listeners, this is a much-needed conversation we need to have in our community and I'm grateful Rachel and Frank were so gracious to come and share their experience with us.
