The “Ties & Tiaras” fundraiser on Sunday, May 19, proved to be an enchanting soirée of elegance and advocacy.

Trans Pride Seattle has grown from a few hundred people marching and gathering at Cal Anderson Park to tens of thousands of attendees, making it one of the largest — if not the largest — Trans Pride events in the nation.

Hi, gay! It’s queer Christmas season, aka Pride!

Get out your finest attire for the first-ever “Ties and Tiaras” fundraiser for Trans Pride Seattle on Sunday, May 19 from 7 to 9 p.m., hosted at Sleight of Hand Cellars in SoDo. There will be live performances, a silent auction, and a plethora of wines, beers and desserts.

A citizen initiative that would increase the risk of violence and abuse of LGBTQ+ students is set to take effect early in Pride Month after being passed by the state legislature. While the initiative has yet to become law and the state courts have the opportunity to intervene, the introduction of such a policy is already impacting LGBTQ+ youth.

Experts Still Don’t Know How It’ll Be Implemented

TPS, now celebrating its 10th anniversary, is produced by the Gender Justice League. Founded in 2012, the organization focuses on “elevating the rights of the Trans and gender-diverse communities in Washington State and beyond.” For a decade, TPS has been “celebrating Trans joy, life, and love.”

Thousands celebrated Pride at various events throughout the weekend in the Seattle area.

Ten years after the first Trans Pride Seattle marched into Cal Anderson Park, veterans from that June night in 2013 and first-timers joined hundreds of people in Capitol Hill’s Volunteer Park to represent the strength of the city’s TwoSpirit, Trans and Gender Diverse community and allies.

“I Just Remember That First Year and I’m So Proud. I Can’t Even Describe the Amount of Joy and Gratitude—I Was So Grateful.”
