Thursday February 2, 2017 - Mayor comes out. In Texas of all places.

Jess Herbst, the Mayor of New Hope Texas has come out as a Transwoman while in office.

 I am so proud of her.

It takes strong determination to transition and to do that in a small Texas town as Mayor is amazing. Below is a link to her short letter to the community.
