In partnership with St. Mary’s University School of Law Pro Bono Program and Texas Law, Pride Center San Antonio's Richard and Ginni Mithoff Pro Bono Program offers gender marker and name change clinics for transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals. The project aims to assist people in aligning the gender presented on their government identifications, driver’s licenses, and other documents with how they identify.
Changing one’s identification to align with who they know themselves to be is a major milestone and affirmation of their identity. These corrections have the potential to curb discrimination, violence, and having to be outed as transgender every time they have to present their ID.
Email The Center for assistance in changing your gender marker.
Free legal counsel; some documentation fees may apply.
San Antonio has one of the largest populations of LGBTQ parents in the United States. PRIDE Families is a social and support group for LGBT parents.
Parents and family are encouraged to form support systems and friends as they meet other LGBT parents and families from the surrounding areas. The focus of the gatherings is social in nature and topics of conversation will be based on the self direction of the participants.
We hold regular meet-ups throughout the year as well as our annual Easter Celebration and annual Fall Family Festival and Trunk-or-Treat.

A safe zone or a safe space is a place where all people feel safe, welcome, and included. It may be a room, a car, or an entire organization.
The Center’s Safe Zone Training aims to increase the awareness, knowledge, and skills for individuals and address the challenges that exist when one wants to advocate for their:
- LGBTQ peers
- family members
- friends
- coworkers
- students
- themselves
Creating safe zones is a proactive step that schools, agencies, and corporations can take to create welcoming, inclusive spaces so that all people are empowered to reach their full potential.
Safe Zone Training offered through The Center can be customized to meet the needs of any organization.
Our Safe Zone Training is a dynamic, interactive four-hour workshop that includes activities and discussion around:
- Inclusive and respectful language
- The process of coming out
- Understanding sexual orientation & gender identity/expression
- Taking action on our campuses and in our workplaces
- Where to go for help
- And much more!
- Safe Zone Certificates are awarded to participants upon completion.
Safe Zone Training can be customized to meet the needs of any organization and is free to the public and non-profits.

Trans Masc Folks y Más welcomes ALL transgender, non-binary, androgynous, gender fluid, two-spirited individuals looking to explore and embrace their gender expression.
We are a community made of diverse trans identities and we envision a community that is inclusive, respectful, and values the existence of all gender identities. We seek to uplift our most marginalized voices, to learn from them, and to grow not only within ourselves but simultaneously with our community members, neighbors, and allies. We hope to achieve this by promoting education, community engagement, mutual aid, racial justice, and equity and equality on all fronts.
