If you haven't been to Unity Fellowship Church in Northwest in the past two weeks, you might not know that it's Transgender Awareness Month. But for those in the know, including local transgender activist Toni Collins, , it's a positive effort to bring the GLBT community closer together by building awareness about its transgender members.

''It's really still a very marginalized community and we're just trying to strengthen our bond between the [GLBT] community by making the community aware that we have a voice,'' says Collins, a board member of Transgender Health Empowerment (THE).
