Sarah McBride was born in Wilmington on August 9, 1990. She grew up in Delaware and has been an active part of the movement for progressive rights for some time. She came out while in college as transgender, an act that came while serving as the president of the student body while attending American University.

She has been credited with helping facilitate the legislation passage in Delaware regarding the banning of discrimination in employment, insurance, public accommodations, and housing based on gender identity. She was asked to speak at the July 2016 Democratic National Convention, a major event for her personally and for American history.

Born to Sally and David, Sarah was born with the name and identity of ‘Tim’ McBride. Before she came out, she worked locally as a campaign staff member. She would work on many different campaigns, including the 2010 campaign by Beau Biden (Attorney General), and Jack Markell (Governor) as part of his campaign in 2008.

Sarah would be elected to be student body president and used her last week to come out, announcing her identity as a woman that is transgender in the student newspaper at the university, The Eagle. She gained attention on a national and international level as a result. It was featured on NPR and even by Lady Gaga’s foundation. The Bidens also expressed support and pride regarding her decision.

She would serve an internship in 2012 at the White House and was the first transgender woman to openly work there ever. She also worked on issues for the LGBTQ while there, and her story was told by Jill Biden in a 2015 speech in May. She would also join the Equality Delaware board of directors.

McBride became a leading advocate for people of transgender identity in Delaware regarding legislation on hate crimes and legal protections. She led an effort to lobby for legislation that would protect those of transgender status, which passed. In June of 2013, an amended bill was re-passed by the senate of the state and Governor Markell signed it into law, thanking McBride for her courage and advocacy.

After, she joined a team promoting LGBTQ progress. She has also spoken at different events and colleges, including the National Dinner held by the Human Rights Campaign and more. She also had the honor of being named Delaware’s ‘Most Valuable’ Progressive, courtesy of the site ‘Delawareliberal.net’. She made a Trans 100 list in 2014 and was recognized by other sites and individuals for her work. An article in 2015 also predicted that she would be the first American that is transgender to make it to ‘high’ public office through election.

Sarah served as a panelist on the topic of bullying among youth and in the workplace as part of the GLOBE Pride 2016 talk. She has been featured on all types of media outlets from television to magazine and radio and more.

McBride also had the chance to have her own “TED Talk” in April of 2016. The talk was all about how gender that is assigned at birth shouldn’t have the influence to dictate the people that we are. She would end up serving on a committee that was supporting Hillary Clinton and also was trying to educate as well as ‘mobilize’ transgender people to support her.

McBride would marry Andrew Cray in August of 2014. The decision came after he received a cancer diagnosis that was terminal. The two were married by Gene Robinson, an Episcopal Bishop that presided over their ceremony. Cray would pass away shortly after their union in four days’ time. She would honor her husband and his work for LGBT rights in her DNC speech.
