In the past year, several of the measures lawmakers passed restricting LGBTQ+ rights have been temporarily blocked by the courts.

Last year, during a legislative committee meeting, a state Republican lawmaker referred to transgender people as “demons and imps.”

A study published by the LGBTQ+ advocacy group, the Human Rights Campaign in November of last year found that at least 335 gender-nonconforming individuals had been killed since 2013 through violent acts.

Powell heard Diaz speak last year when Capital Tea received a grant from Way Out, an organization focused on supporting LGBTQ+ youth.
