When you read Parker Sargent’s resume you feel positively tired, and also in awe of how one person can squeeze so much into a lifetime :  Writer, director and producer  and the host of the What Is Queer Podcast and organizer of the TRANS CELEBRATION WEEKEND etc. etc. Then when you get to meet them it all makes perfect sense as Parker has a very infectious passion, energy and sense of commitment to our community and so its impossible not to be swept up in her latest plans.

They include the 2nd Annual Trans Celebration Weekend that is about to happen on Cherry Grove, Fire Island in September.  Its three very packed days of movies, resources, performances, dance parties, nature walks, catered events beach activities and much more. Its perfect timing for this public celebration in one of the US’s most welcoming queer paradises in the present political and social climate when it seems like open season on attacking the trans community. The whole LGBTQA+ community is a better place for us all due to the likes of Parker Sargent.

Parker talked to QUEERGURU about their plans and hopes for this remarkable free queer event, produced in conjunction with Cherry Grove Community Association to which EVERYONE will be welcome to join
