Also new for this year is the beneficiary: Transgender Health Empowerment (THE).
"This is the first time the event has reached out to the transgender community," says Briggs, who declines to label his own sexual orientation, preferring instead to identify as a community organizer and a humanitarian. "The transgender community is very disenfranchised, even within the gay community, making them more prone to HIV infection."
