With nearly 1,000 attendees expected to register for the six-day conference, political and business stakeholders like the Human Rights Campaign, the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and Georgia Equality will lobby conference guests in an effort to harness transgender support and numbers for their causes.
The efforts of gay political organizations, some of which previously shunned transgender issues as distracting obstacles, are welcomed by Southern Comfort organizers, who say the stage is set for increased awareness of transgender issues, and people, in the larger society.
