California has become the first U.S. state to establish a Transgender History Month.

On Wednesday, the state Assembly voted in favor of House Resolution 57, introduced late last month by state Assemblymember Matt Haney (D-San Francisco), to recognize August as Transgender History Month beginning in 2024.

Previously, San Francisco became the first city in the nation to declare August Transgender History Month back in 2021. Santa Clara made a similar declaration in 2022.

“The history of transgender people is there if you look for it,” Haney said. “As long as there has been a California, there have been transgender people here contributing to their community, making history, expanding civil rights and helping to build a California that is more inclusive and prosperous for everyone.”
