Memphis has several nonprofits focused on supporting our growing LGBTQ+ community. March 31 is International Transgender Day of Visibility, which is dedicated to celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by them. In honor of the day, we are highlighting organizations that specifically offer services for our local transgender or gender nonconforming community.
