Our court would like to be recognized as not only representatives of Dickson Pride but also as Transgendered Americans that live and work in our community daily. They are always here to support our community and those within it.
Happy transgender day of visibility!
King Travi Sexton & Queen Natalia Stylles!

Today we proudly recognize Transgender Day of Visibility, a day to celebrate the lives, contributions, and resilience of transgender people everywhere.
At a time when transgender communities are increasingly subjected to harmful rhetoric and legislative efforts that seek to limit their rights and dignity, visibility matters more than ever. Every person deserves safety, respect, and equal treatment under the law, regardless of gender identity.
We stand in solidarity with our trans community members and affirm our commitment to a world where they are seen, heard, protected, and valued. Our community is strongest when everyone is treated with fairness, compassion, and humanity, not just in words, but in action.
Today and every day, we support the right of transgender people to live openly, authentically, and with the same respect every human being deserves.

We’ve had several people ask about doing meetups for the teens (ages 13-18) in our LGBTQ+ community, and we’d love to make it happen! 🌈

What kinds of things would your teens actually enjoy? Movie nights? Game nights? Bowling? Crafts? Just hanging out somewhere chill?

We want this to be a safe, fun space for them to connect and be themselves, so drop your ideas below 👇

Our hearts go out to the Sexton family as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.

Today, Channel 2 News will air a special segment, “Remembering Smooth Sexton,” honoring Smooth’s life, artistry, and impact on our community.

We continue to hold the Sexton family, along with all of Smooth’s loved ones, chosen family, and the broader LGBTQ+ community, in our hearts during this deeply painful time.

May this moment of remembrance reflect the love, joy, and legacy Smooth brought into the world.

Today we honor those we’ve lost, support those living with HIV, and stand united against stigma.

For our LGBTQ+ community, HIV/AIDS is a story of resilience and care. We recommit to expanding access to testing, treatment, and prevention—and to building a future where everyone can thrive.

Together, we remember. Together, we fight.
