Heath welcomes Lisa Scheps from Transgender Education Network of Texas, and Paul Scott, executive director of Equality Texas.





Our first guest is Lisa Scheps, one the founders of Transgender Education Network of Texas, a statewide advocacy group dedicated to furthering the cause of gender diverse people in this state. Lisa joins us tonight to tell us about the 10th Annual Transgender Day of Remembrance, which will take place locally at Austin City Hall on November 20th at 6:30 p.m.





Next, Paul Scott, the executive director of Equality Texas is in the studio to talk about the wave of grassroots energy that has been generated by the nationwide protests over the passage of Prop 8 in California and how that energy might be harnessed to advance the movement for equality right here in Texas.

Interesting and informative.
Let's hope all the Prop 8 protesters get engaged in the movement for equality in Texas, and attend Transgender Day of Remembrance on Thursday.
