Transgender Thanksgiving (Tgiving)
A place and a community for which to be thankful. Join us for this special event.
History
The annual Transgender Thanksgiving Potluck is a tradition started in the mid-90s by Brenda Thomas, a fierce activist in Houston’s transgender community. Brenda unfortunately passed away in 2006, but her legacy remains today. For the past few years, the Montrose Center has worked alongside the transgender community to continue this tradition every year on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
2022 Celebration
Back in-person this year, we’re excited to hold our annual TGiving Celebration on November 22 from 5 – 9 PM at the Montrose Center. This party is free and open to all transgender individuals, family, friends, and allies of all ages. As this is a potluck, we are asking that you contribute to the event by bringing a main dish (meat, vegetarian/vegan dish, dessert), side dish, drinks, or any combination of the three.
Registration is Open!
