Carla Lewis

Carla Lewis is a veteran of the United States Air Force Space Command serving in support of Operation Desert Storm and was discharged in 1991 when it was discovered she was transgender. Her activism was ignited in 2008, when she and her wife, Jaime Combs, witnessed a lone gunman enter their church sanctuary and kill innocent people, including a good friend, all because her church welcomed LGBT people, and to that end Carla has tried to use her voice to advocate for equality for transgender people and speak for those that cannot speak out because of fear or intimidation.
