Our Story

TKO was founded in 2012. In 2017, TKO became the first and only AIDS Service Organization (ASO) and STD/STI clinic in the state of Alabama founded and led by Black Trans and LGBQ people. We are community people serving the communities that we represent. Our goal is to help more Black trans, same-gender-loving, and Black queer folks access high-quality primary care and endocrinology services.

Our Mission & Vision

The Knights and Orchids Society (TKO) envisions a future where Transgender, Queer, Bisexual, Lesbian, and Gay (LGBTQ+) Black people are empowered to live full and healthy lives free from harm. Our mission is to build the power of LGBTQ+ Black people across the south by providing a spectrum of health and wellness services.
