NORTHAMPTON - They are a minority within a minority, but the transgender community will be out in force Sunday in the streets of Northampton at the New England Transgender March and Rally.

Organizers expect more than 1,000 people from throughout the region to take part in the event, which is the first of its kind in New England.

Last month, Northampton hosted the 27th annual Pride March, a hallmark of the gay community. Although many transgender people participated in that event, they opted to hold their own march to bring attention to issues they say are unique to them.
