With the help of parents, community members, other trans activists and the ACLU, Daniel and his co-organizers were able to bring more than 50 trans and non-binary young people to the Capitol for an event that was as much a celebration as it was a protest. Most importantly, the Trans Prom was a chance to allow these kids the freedom to be exactly who they are. It’s what Lizette and Jose have wanted for Daniel his whole life. “All you want is for your child to love who they are fully,” Lizette says. “The trans prom was Daniel saying he loved himself fully and wanted to give that to other kids.”
