Kaye Fox
Kaye Fox (1942 – March 27, 2016),[1] was an American transgender activist and priest.
In 1979, while working as a priest, before coming out as transgender, Fox guided the Open Door Mission in Rochester, New York[2] in its greatest period of growth both financially and organizationally, supervising the opening of its Plymouth Avenue shelter in 1986. During that time the Mission grew from one to 40 employees, with an annual budget of $3.5 million.[3] In 2002 she announced her female identity, at which point her son took over her position at the Mission.[4] She was admired by many LGBT activists[citation needed] and worshiped at one of the first churches to embrace members of the community – the Open Arms Metropolitan Community Church. According to local LGBT activist Anne Tischer, she helped many identifying as transgender become more comfortable spiritually.[5]
She died in 2016.[2]
