Pride Month in June is an opportunity to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and the progress made since the Stonewall Riots beginning on June 28, 1969, in New York City. But there is still work to be done for Maine's transgender community.
Quinn Gormley, executive director of Maine Transgender Network, discusses the issues transgender people in Maine face and the additional challenges for older transgender people and those living in rural communities.
The "Maine Ties" theme is "Blue Heron" by 317 Main.
