Description
From the Dennis McBride Photograph Collection (PH-00263) -- LGBTQ+ events and organizations in Las Vegas, Nevada -- Digital images file. Notes from the donor, Dennis McBride: Equality Won! Day was a celebration of the successful passage of transgender-inclusive legislation at the Nevada State Legislature during the 2011 session. … Jane Heenan had long taken issue with David Parks due to his failure to include the transgender community in the queer-supportive legislation he had introduced and sponsored in the Nevada State Legislature since he was first elected to the State Assembly in 1996. But Parks' success in getting transgender-inclusive legislation passed in the 2011 session and the event documented here provided an opportunity for rapprochement between him and Heenan. Individuals identified by the donor, Dennis McBride: Jane Heenan [transgender activist]; David Parks [Nevada State Senator, District 7, Democrat (gay)]
