Miss Major Griffin-Gracy has died at the age of 78. She was a Black trans elder who has been fighting for the community for decades and was a veteran of the Stonewall Riots. She worked for the Mattachine Midwest gay rights' organization, started Miss Major's Angels of Care to take care of gay men dying of AIDS in the 1980s, was the executive director of the Transgender Gender-Variant and Intersex Justice Project, and built a safe haven for trans people called tilfi.

The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival showcases over half a dozen LGBTQ-themed films, including a comedy about Bar Mitzvahs and documentaries on trans activism and queer art.

The evening began with group meditation and collective screaming, providing an outlet for shared rage against injustices faced by the queer community.
