Thank you, San Francisco, for welcoming GenderCool with open arms. We are so grateful to Robert Holgate and Pam David for hosting "An Evening with GenderCool" alongside leaders ACLU of Northern California, The National Center for LGBTQ Rights, and LYRIC. We had an incredible time at Pixar with an exclusive tour of the studios and meaningful conversations with the PixPride group. We finished out the weekend as keynote speakers at the Alvin H. Baum Jr. Lecture series with University of San Francisco. We can't wait to visit again soon!
