MINNEAPOLIS - Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and City Council President Andrea Jenkins have
proclaimed today, March 31, 2023, as International Transgender Day of Visibility in the City of
Minneapolis. The International Transgender Day of Visibility holiday was founded in 2009 in response to
the lack of holidays celebrating transgender people’s successes and accomplishments.
Minneapolis was the first American city to bar gender-identity based-discrimination through
amendments to the Civil Rights Ordinance in 1975. Since, Minneapolis has continued to address and
prioritize transgender equity and awareness, specifically through our Transgender Issues Work Group,
which was created in 2014, and the Transgender Equity Council, created in 2017. Minneapolis is also the
first City to have two black transgender Council members and the first openly transgender City Council
President.
