This week as part of Los Angeles’s Gay Pride celebration, trans activist Masen Davis will be honored with the Berman/Schaffer Award, recognizing his leadership skills in inspiring self-esteem and building strategic partnerships that further the LGBT movement.
Davis, the Executive Director of the San Francisco-based Transgender Law Center, California’s statewide transgender civil rights organization, identifies as a “queer trans guy who wants to get stuff done.” He maintains, the trans community has, “some brilliant people in our community who’ve… done some amazing community work… and have been great at creating support systems… and social spaces.”
