(KQED) – San Francisco supervisors on Tuesday declared the city a sanctuary for transgender people, joining Sacramento and West Hollywood as the first cities in the U.S. to do so.
Long home to a prominent LGBTQ community, the city is now officially a place of safety for transgender, nonbinary, gender nonconforming and Two-Spirit people — an umbrella term used to describe Indigenous and Native individuals who possess both a masculine and feminine spirit — according to the declaration.
“We are reaffirming that our city has been and will continue to be a sanctuary and a beacon for our transgender and gender nonconforming siblings,” Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, who introduced the resolution, said in a statement.
The pronouncement comes as 40 states across the country are considering anti-LGBTQ legislation, nearly half of which targets transgender youth, according to the resolution.
