Gender Justice League

Each year, Gender Justice League produces Trans Pride Seattle: the Northwest's largest trans-specific event, bringing together nearly 15,000 people each year. TPS is our community's opportunity to join together to learn, celebrate, connect, and resist.

This year we will be featuring both national and local trans performers, including Angel Bonilla from The Voice, Montana Representative Zooey Zephyr, T4T: Seattle's Longest Running All Trans & Nonbinary Drag Show, DJ @exesive__, and more!

Gender Justice League is dedicated to creating an event that is accessible; community (not corporate) funded; and focused squarely on highlighting the leaders, talents, and performances of those most impacted by racism, ableism, transphobia, and xenophobia. This year will include our popular Spoons Tent for a low-sensory, chill-out space, and a continued commitment to ASL and Spanish language translation.

Like many organizations, Trans Pride Seattle and Gender Justice League have been financially impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. TPS took a two-year hiatus, returning in September of 2022. GJL saw a 50% reduction in revenue between 2020 and 2021, and has been slowly rebuilding. Other 'mainstream' funding continues to be extremely hard for us to access as a trans-specific organization, and we receive no city or county funds, have no Trans Pride specific grants, and we do not accept funds from major corporations.

We have chosen to accept funds only from LGBTQ employee resource groups, labor unions, local non-profits, small businesses, and individual donors so that we can maintain a community-focused event directed towards political and cultural resistance—free from the influence of outside entities.

Trans Pride Seattle is Back!

After a two-year in-person hiatus - We're returning to an in-person event!

COVID has had a devastating impact on our communities, amplifying the already stark disparities faced by trans and gender diverse people and expanding the already devastating isolation that many trans and gender diverse people face.

Trans Pride Seattle is an opportunity for gender-diverse people to come together in person, to see each other, and to build bonds of friendship and community. Trans Pride is our opportunity to stand up against the relentless attacks on gender-diverse youth, Black, Indigenous, and POC Trans people, and reproductive rights in this country.

We Need Your Support!

Just like every year Trans Pride Seattle is not accepting any corporate donations or sponsorships. To keep our event community-centered, radical, and grassroots - we rely on grassroots donors (like you!), small and medium-sized local organizations, and locally owned small businesses to make one of the largest Trans Pride events in the world happen. Individual donors through this crowd fundraising provide 50% of the overall support for Trans Pride Seattle!! Together we spend about 50% of our budget on local Trans, Non-Binary, Two-Spirit, & QTPOC performers, DJs, emcees, musicians, artists, staff, and businesses (You can see our 2018 budget breakdown of income and expenses here!)

New Date This Year - Same Location:

Trans Pride Seattle will occur in the same location as 2019 - the Bobbi Morris Playfield in Cal Anderson Park, Capitol Hill Seattle. We will however be hosting TPS at a new date - Friday, September 2nd, 2022. The March will begin to gather from 5pm - 5:30pm and then arrive in Cal Anderson around 6:00 pm. This new date and time will allow the nearly all-volunteer Trans Pride Team to create a safe, successful, and well-executed event.
