Aidan Key is a speaker, educator, author and organizer whose gender-related work spans over two decades. His desire to increase the understanding and awareness of gender identity development in children, youth, and adults has placed him in front of many audiences including kindergartners, superintendents, judges, teachers, grad students, doctors, psychiatrists, and clergy.

With Gender Diversity, Key guides schools, agencies and organizations in expanding their knowledge of gender diverse children and teens; offers best practices related to trans youth; emphasizes the inclusion of gender identity and gender expression in existing diversity policies, and helps to identify the practical, everyday ways in which to implement this inclusion

We are a new kind of production company: trans-focused, and trans-specific. Our goal is to use media to elevate justice and equality for the transgender community.

Since our founding in 2014, content we’ve produced has been viewed over 5 million times, garnered tens of millions of impressions and our online community has grown to over 80,000 members.

Gender Spectrum works to create gender sensitive and inclusive environments for all children and teens.

GenderCool was inspired by the powerful, positive experience of one family. Jen and John are the parents of four, including their daughter, Chazzie, (She/Her), who proudly identifies as transgender.

In 2017, their search for positive stories about transgender and non-binary kiddos like Chazzie turned up (nearly) empty. They could count on one hand the positive stories they found that focused on Who these young people are as talented, amazing leaders.

In stark contrast, it took all of five seconds to find a tidal wave of misleading, sensational, negative content about these amazing young people.

Something had to be done. Jen joined forces with friend and mentor Gearah Goldstein, an expert on diversity and inclusion, wife, parent, and proud transgender person. Together, with five extraordinary young people and their families, GenderCool was born.

Georgia Equality’s mission is to advance fairness, safety and opportunity for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities and our allies throughout the state.

Georgia Equality, Inc. works year-round to pass pro-equality legislation and elect fair-minded elected officials. Through the Equality Foundation of Georgia, we conduct voter registration and educational activities, provide information to decision makers, and work to organize and mobilize LGBTQ residents and allies to advance equality in urban, suburban, and rural communities across the state.
