Welcome to the 2023 Human Rights Campaign Minnesota Dinner!

On behalf of the Minnesota Board of Governors and Steering Committee, we welcome you to a night of celebration of LGBTQ+ pride with NO EXCEPTIONS!

Since our last gathering in 2022, we have all been navigating what the “new normal” is in the post-pandemic era. We have watched communities come together but also become more divided. We are figuring out what work needs to be done to address the inequities that became so apparent in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and many state legislatures around the country continue to introduce and often legislation that has walked back the progress we had made in securing LGBTQ+ rights.

In Minnesota, fortunately, it has been a different story. Tonight we celebrate the work of the Queer Caucus in the state legislature who worked diligently to ensure that Minnesota is a safe harbor for the LGBTQ+ community, in particular for trans children, youth and their families who have needed to find care outside their home states. We also celebrate the work of those in the medical community who continue to honor and support our trans and non-binary youth in their journeys. One shining example of this is tonight’s honoree, Dr. Rhamy Magid who has been instrumental in helping many trans youth on their journeys.

On the national level, HRC welcomed a new president, Kelley Robinson, a dynamic advocate for equality with NO EXCEPTIONS. Under Kelley’s leadership, HRC joined a coalition of organizations fighting for justice across the issues that affect our rights to exist, our bodily autonomy, our history, our safety and more. The Greater Than Hate coalition includes the NAACP, Everytown for Gun Safety, the National Education Association, the National Women’s Law Center, Equality Federation, Asians Fighting Injustice and the National Center for Transgender Equality.

HRC continues to focus on mobilization, education and advocacy in the continued fight for our human rights. While we have made progress over the past decade, the actions of leaders in Florida and Texas as well as several other places, show us that the elimination of our human rights is still a harsh reality. There is still much work to be done.

We come together to celebrate and honor all those who fight so hard for equality across the state, country, and globe. While tonight’s dinner is an important part of the work, it doesn’t stop here. This is a chance for us to reflect on and re-energize our efforts. Tonight we challenge each other to both financially support HRC’s mission and to keep reaching across our tables and forging connections with humility, curiosity and respect in the fight for our human rights with NO EXCEPTIONS.

This evening would not be a success without the support of the LGBTQ+ community, but also those among us that identify as allies - we see you, we appreciate you and with your persistent advocacy, you are helping us make strides in the fight for equality. We also express our sincerest gratitude to the HRC Minnesota Steering Committee, our corporate sponsors, table captains and team of dedicated volunteers. Months of planning and hard work have gone into this evening - without your energy, excitement, creativity and commitment none of this would have been possible.

United in the belief that Love Wins, Casey Nichols and Kris Norman Dinner Co-Chairs

WELCOME LETTER

Kelley

Robinson

HRC PRESIDENT

Kelley Robinson is the ninth president of the Human Rights Campaign — the first Black, Queer woman to lead the organization. The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality and liberation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. Robinson — widely respected for her work over the last 15 years creating and leading winning campaigns and programs — steps into her new role at HRC after serving as Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Action Fund. From community organizer to progressive leader, Robinson has been at the forefront in the fight for bodily autonomy and racial and gender equity, with a focus on lifting up marginalized communities and building political power. Robinson will lead HRC — and its more than 3 million member advocates — as the organization fulfills its mission to realize a world that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.

Dr. Rhamy Magid

ANN KANER-ROTH AWARD

In November of 2015 Dr. Rhamy met with families to present the idea to Transforming Families and other invested families about opening an all inclusive pediatric gender clinic. A clinic where youth could be seen for their pediatric gender needs, affirming healthcare, a place with a social worker right there on staff. And, in 2016 Dr. Rhamy was integral in opening the Hennepin Healthcare Pediatric Gender Clinic in the twin cities.

Since opening the clinic Dr. Rhamy has been to speak at countless school board meetings. He’s offered care to hundreds of trans youth and helped grow the pediatric gender clinic. He goes above and beyond for his patients. Families often joke that his name autocorrects to Dr. Magic instead of Magid and it’s because he’s just so wonderful.

Dr. Rhamy brings a book to each new patient he meets. He meets his patients where they are at. He talks to them about their hopes and dreams about the future and also always makes sure to check in on how things are going for them in the present. He even takes the time to check in about school and genuinely cares about the answer - offering advice and wisdom.

He stands by his patients.

Dr. Rhamy is moving on from the HCMC pediatric gender clinic that he helped to start. While he is leaving it thriving and in great hands he will be deeply missed. He is an ally who has changed the lives of so many trans youth for the better.

Along life’s journey let’s travel together.

A crowd favorite, Goldberg has become a triple threat combining her comedy, hosting, and live auction talents to become one of the most sought after entertainers on the circuit. Voted one of the “Top Five Funniest Lesbians In America,” Curve magazine raves, “Goldberg is one of the brightest lights in a stellar comedy landscape.” Advocate.com named Goldberg one of the top three LGBT comedians in the nation.

In addition to headlining clubs, theaters and festivals around the country, Goldberg has performed at and emceed dozens of high profile events and has shared the national stage with luminaries such as President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton, Meryl Streep, Katy Perry, Kerry Washington, Jennifer Lopez, Carol Burnett, Sir Elton John, Mariah Carey, Shonda Rhimes, and many more.

WHAT WE DO

The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer equality. Since 1980, we have been fighting for a better future for LGBTQ+ Americans. We are now working tirelessly to pass the Equality Act, which will soon head to the U.S. Senate for consideration, fight back against a multitude of anti-LGBTQ+ legis-lation in states nationwide and ensure everyone in our community is treated with dignity and respect. While our opponents are emboldened and on the attack, the Human Rights Campaign and our grass-roots army of more than 3.2 million members and supporters are energetically defending the rights we’ve gained and ramping up our fight for full equality across the board.

ANTI-EQUALITY LEADERS AND LEGISLATION

The alarming spate of anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced across the country in 2020 has continued to surge in 2021. These include bills that would prohibit transgender youth from receiving genderaffirming care and bills that would prohibit transgender youth from participating in sports. This wave of anti-transgender legislation harkens back to the surge of anti-transgender bathroom bills that hit state legislatures in 2016, including North Carolina’s HB2. We remain committed to aggressively fighting these threats to equality by those who seek to undermine our rights. HRC will do whatever it takes to protect the rights and fundamental equality of every LGBTQ+ person in this country.

B U IL DING A ND DEM ONS TR AT ING POLITICAL P OWER

HRC’s decades-long work to build political power has uniquely positioned us to reach LGBTQ+ and ally voters who prioritize equality on the ballot, also known as Equality Voters. HRC has identified 57 million Equality Voters nationwide who, if they turn out to vote, will support pro-equality candidates. HRC’s early and sustained year-round engagement in battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin bolstered historic turnout in 2018 and 2020 producing pro-equality outcomes at every level of government. In 2019, HRC’s mobilization of Equality Voters in Virginia, where lawmakers had repeatedly blocked proequality bills over many years, produced groundbreaking progress for LGBTQ+ Americans in the South. These victories led to the Virginia Values Act becoming law, making Virginia the first state in the South to advance statewide nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people.

ADVANCING EQUALITY IN OUR DAILY LIVES

The HRC Foundation improves the lives LGBTQ+ people by building understanding and shaping the public debate of LGBTQ+ people and the challenges they face through innovative research and public education campaigns. We also change the policies and practices in the institutions that shape our everyday lives (hospitals, schools, workplaces, and more) and empower strategic partners, community advocates, and allies through convenings and capacity-building. Guided by these theories of change and seeking to prioritize work impacting those who are multiply marginalized, we have 11 cuttingedge programs advancing equality in the U.S. and beyond.

All Children - All Families is the only national program dedicated to LGBTQ+ inclusion in child welfare (foster care and adoption agencies) that provides resource development, technical assistance and training.

Public Education & Research produces written resources and conducts original quantitative and qualitative research exploring the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ people.

Global Partnerships provides capacity-building and leadership development opportunities to LGBTQ+ advocates from around the world to strengthen movements and advance global LGBTQ+ equality.

HBCU Program is the only national project that partners with Historically Black Colleges and Universities on establishing an LGBTQ+-inclusive campus climate.

Health & Aging provides resources and training to help thousands of healthcare facilities adopt inclusive policies and practices to better serve LGBTQ+ patients and employees.

HIV & Health Equity develops public education and capacitybuilding programs to address the disproportionate impact of HIV on Black and Latinx communities.

Religion & Faith provides faith leaders with opportunities and tools to stand up for equality even as opponents attempt to weaponize faith against LGBTQ+ people.

Transgender Justice Initiative leads economic empowerment programs, capacity-building initiatives, community engagement efforts, and public safety education campaigns that combat the discrimination faced by transgender people.

Welcoming Schools is the only bias-based bullying prevention program in the nation to provide LGBTQ+-specific training and resources with an intersectional lens, developed for use in elementary schools.

Workplace Equality advances equality for LGBTQ+ workers through the adoption and implementation of inclusive policies, practices, and benefits in the U.S. and beyond.

Youth Well-Being provides professional development to over 5,000 youth-serving professionals annually, through the annual Time to THRIVE conference, webinars, participation at major national convenings, and by amplifying the stories of HRC Youth Ambassadors. The program also convenes HRC’s Parents for Transgender Equality Council.

Uncovering culture

To cover is to tone dow n a “dis favored ” identit y to fi t into the mainstream.*

In collaboration with the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at NYU School of Law, the DEI Institute explores covering across identities, how it impacts individuals and organizations, and how leaders can create psychologically safe work environments to reduce the demand employees may feel to cover.

Deloitte’s DEI Institute surveyed workers across multiple industries to find 69% of LGBTQ+ respondents reported covering at work in the last 12 months**

We asked: To what extent has the need to cover negatively impacted the following?
