TLC’s Isa Noyola discusses Pulse and LGBT orgs’ responsibility to Latinx communities
The Orlando Pulse massacre in June shocked the country, and it quickly became clear that the shooting had taken place in a gay nightclub. But it was also Latin night at Pulse, and the shooting took place on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day festival. The 49 victims were largely Latino and gay, many of them Puerto Rican.
Latino and Latina LGBTQ people and their families already face challenges others may not, from language barriers to fear of deportation. That divide became more apparent in the effort to get support to victims and their families.

California court issues nonbinary gender change to TLC client - a.t. furuya
San Diego, CA – Today, a court granted a name and gender change to Transgender Law Center client a.t. furuya, making a.t. the second person in California and the third in the country to obtain “nonbinary” as their legally designated gender.
“For the first time, I feel seen for who I am and not torn in two directions,” said a.t., a 34-year-old from San Diego who uses they/them pronouns. “Whenever I go to the bank or a bar or the airport, I get anxious about showing my I.D. with its line that says ‘female.’ I never know which box someone will try to put me in, and since I don’t fit either, people often don’t know what to do with me. I know it will take people a while to understand what it means to be nonbinary, but this order means I am not on my own anymore – my state recognizes me.”
Today, TLC launched our Action Center to keep you updated with the latest legislation and political information impacting the transgender community. Check it out!
