A local woman who recently represented Canada in an international transgender beauty pageant says she wants to bring the competition home.
Bringing the trans pageant circuit to Vancouver will spread international awareness about Canada's acceptance of queer people and help support trans people at home, Katie Kennedy says.
"The objective is to let the whole world know that they shouldn't be ashamed of who we are," she says.
