Sarah McBride is First Trans Woman to Address Major-Party Convention

HeadlineJul 29, 2016

Hillary Clinton’s address came at the end of a day packed with speakers, including her daughter, Chelsea Clinton; retired four-star Marine General John Allen; civil rights legend Dolores Huerta; “Moral Mondays” leader Reverend William Barber; and LGBT rights activist Sarah McBride, who became the first openly transgender woman to speak at a major-party convention.

Sarah McBride: Will we be a nation where there’s only one way to love, only one way to look and only one way to live? Or will we be a nation where everyone has the freedom to live openly and equally, a nation that’s stronger together?”
