WATCH:An Alberta woman is being honoured with a humanitarian award for paving the way for transgender people. Su-Ling Goh has her story.

EDMONTON Marni Panas is easy to like. Shes friendly and chatty and funny. On Wednesday, International Human Rights Day, shes receiving an award for paving the way for transgender people.

Marni is being honoured witha humanitarian award from Edmontons John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights, where she will make a speech about her life. Shell be charming and completely win over the crowd.

But Marni wasnt always so confident and outgoing.

Marni was designated male at birth, and named Marcel. In small-town Alberta, Marcel didnt fit in. He often chose girl toys and was told he was too emotional. The other kids ignored, even rejected, him.

I liked to play with the girls, and I liked what the girls had to share with me, but of course the girls didnt want to play with the boys, so I was quite alone, Marnirecalls.

Then in 1996, Marcel met the love of his life, a woman named Laurina.

She was just raised in an environment that you dont judge, that you accept all people for all they are.

I think thats why maybe I was attracted to Laurina in the first place.

Marcel told Laurina about his struggle with gender identity. The couple married and had a son, Alex. Over the years, Laurina not only accepted, but encouraged her husbands love of performing as drag queen Marni Gras.

Editor,

I just read the letter to editor by Armando Baezs re Paving over Paradise. Can you tell he is on Village Lagunas board? It is a good story line and rally point for its members. Laguna is a tourist town, that means many people come here toenjoy our ambiance, including our view, which is still on their agenda to block as we saw this past year.

Where does Baez think people who work at restaurants, hotels, shops, provide services to homeowners, as well as those that support law firms, doctors office, etc. are going to park? Not everyone who works here lives here, can take a bus, nor is our local bus service 24/7 effective much less user friendly.Where will the visitors park when they want to enjoyArt Walk, yearly plein air event, and summer longart festivals? They cant park in residential area.

Eliminating parking is going on now.So far two Village Laguna members have removed two legal parking spaces under the guise that the street was not wide enough, or a woman could not pull into her driveway (for 18 years she has). The truth the owner did not want anyone parking in front of his home.Only six people signed for no parking, 18 said yes for parking.

That is typical of the lopsided representation of general population versus Village Laguna.Their members sit on all of the volunteer committees and often lead the committees and bully the rest of the members if they have a different point of view.Their influence in city hall is long standing, starting with Ann Christoph, then Verna Rollinger, and now Martha Anderson.Because they are a mutual benefit corporation, they get their way to help their members. Lets all join Village Laguna and see what happens.

Sounds like Baez is getting ready to run for office next election. Please dont. Find a hobby, help the homeless, do something that would really help this city. Eliminating parking is not the solution. Think outside of the box.
