Exclusive – The National Trans Visibility March is Coming to Atlanta in 2027

The National Trans Visibility March is bringing its movement to Atlanta, the birthplace of the modern Civil Rights Movement!

The National Trans Visibility March (NTVM) is officially headed to Atlanta in 2027! Following a powerful demonstration in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where more than 500 people took to the streets advocating for transgender rights, visibility, and equality, the annual march is preparing to bring its nationwide movement to Georgia’s capital.

“I am proud to reveal that the National Trans Visibility March will be held in Atlanta in 2027,” Founder of the National Trans Visibility March, Marissa Miller exclusively tells Gaye Magazine.

Dewayne Queen, Director of LGBTQ Affairs for the City of Atlanta’s Mayor’s Office, announced the news in a special video presentation during the 2026 National Trans Visibility March in Puerto Rico.

“Atlanta knows something about marching. In 2027, the NTVM is coming to Atlanta. That’s right, next year we welcome you to gather, to organize, to learn, to celebrate, and to march together in the city that helped shape the movement of civil rights,” Queen declared.

The announcement comes on the heels of the organization’s 2026 gathering, held October 14 through 17 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The multiday event brought together transgender advocates, community leaders, activists, and allies for a series of educational discussions, community celebrations, and demonstrations centered on advancing transgender rights.

On Saturday, October 17, more than 500 demonstrators participated in the march, which concluded at the Puerto Rico Capitol, where advocates gathered in a collective call for greater protections, equality, and visibility for transgender and gender-nonconforming communities.

The decision to bring the march to Atlanta carries particular significance.

Widely recognized as a cornerstone of the American Civil Rights Movement, Atlanta is home to a longstanding legacy of organizing, resistance, and advocacy for marginalized communities. Bringing the National Trans Visibility March to the city creates an opportunity to connect that history with the ongoing fight for transgender liberation.

Queen Victoria Ortega, International President of FLUX, an affinity group of AIDS Healthcare Foundation dedicated to creating safe spaces for transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals through advocacy and outreach, exclusively spoke with Gaye Magazine about her organization’s plans for Atlanta.

Ortega, who organized the official after-party for this year’s march in Puerto Rico, revealed that FLUX is hoping to expand its presence into Atlanta in conjunction with the 2027 event.

“Next year in Atlanta, we are hoping to work with Jade to lead and create a FLUX chapter there. So to be able to partner with the National Trans Visibility March to launch FLUX Atlanta and be the official after-party, that’s the plan. And not only do we plan, we execute and make it happen,” Ortega told Gaye Magazine during an exclusive interview at the Puerto Rico Capitol following the march.

The potential launch of FLUX Atlanta would add another layer to the march’s impact, establishing a new avenue for continued community-building, advocacy, and support for transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals beyond the annual gathering.

An official date, host venues, and additional programming details for the 2027 National Trans Visibility March in Atlanta have not yet been announced.

Gaye Magazine will continue providing exclusive coverage and updates as organizers prepare to bring the national movement to Atlanta in 2027.
