The Real Reveal: Representative Stephanie Byers
Meet Stephanie
I remember vividly in 1992-93 when I was watching C-Span and they were debating if gays should be allowed in the military. I remember scanning the faces of the members of congress. They were all old white men that had never walked in my shoes. I got clear for myself that day that as a queer person, I don't have representation in government.
Well it's a new day. In 2020, we had a record breaking year where seven transgender people were elected to serve in public office. The best part is that one of them is right here in Kansas.
Stephanie Byers is the first out Native American Transgender person ever to be elected to office in the United States. We are blessed to have her in Kansas serving our state as she is wicked smart and savvy in politics. But most importantly, for the first time ever in my 55 years of life I actually have someone in my own state representing me in the House of Representatives. I am happy to introduce you to my friend and member of the Kansas House of Representatives, Stephanie Byers.
