Celebrate Pride 2015 with a look at what to do and those in our transgender community making a difference for everyone

Donnie Cianciotto never thought of himself as an activist. Instead, the founding direction of Musical Mayhem, has always been about theater and music. Cianciotto is a born entertainer, but then Caitlyn Jenner entered the scene and thus a Tucson transgender activist was born.

"I never wanted to be a transgender activist, but then opportunities would show up," he says, thinking back to being asked to talk about Jenner on a local TV broadcast. "I said yes, because I figured if I go I can at least control what's being said. I almost feel obligated. If I don't go and someone says something that's wrong, I can't fix it."
