BGB
is an open support and social group for the transgendered
community of Kentucky and Southern Indiana, including but not
limited to Louisville and Lexington. We meet on the third
Saturday of each month. Most months, we have an unscheduled
outing that is announced at a meeting, or by email or phone,
of a social nature, like a movie, shopping trip, trip to
another nearby TG group, or just a "night out."
We're dedicated to having fun, giving support, offering
information both to members and to the public at large, and
making a real difference in the lives of our members.
Our
meetings and activities are open to all who have an issue
with gender. We have members who are crossdressers,
transvestites, transsexuals, spouses, friends, and family
members of transgendered people, and people who offer
services for transgendered people. We're proud to be an open
group, and are definitely welcoming regardless of whether you
are MtF or FtM. There are 3 goals that guide us as a group:
one, to be an information resource for transgendered people
in Kentucky and Southern Indiana; two, to provide support and
camaraderie for others who are transgendered; and three, to
be a social group - we never forget that everyone needs to
have friends and fun.
We
publish a newsletter that is widely distributed and is
available for viewing on this website. Some of the more
"out" members of our group have made public
appearances to educate the public at large about gender
issues and civil rights for the transgendered. We also are
affiliated with It's Time, Kentucky!, a chapter of It's Time,
America! that is run by members of our group for political
activism, and work closely with the Kentucky Fairness Campaign to ensure that
transgendered people can be protected under state and local
law. This year already, the City of Louisville passed
employment protection for many TG people, and similar
legislation is pending in Jefferson County. Members of BGB
were on the front lines of these battles.
Why
not come and join us soon for a meeting? We meet on the 3rd
Saturday of each month in downtown Louisville, Ky. - page
502-446-2175 for location, to talk to us about your gender
questions, or to volunteer to help with the convention! (Yes,
we need YOUR help!)
