Frankie Sanvidge is a community organizer and activist, hailing from Saratoga County. As a founding board member at A Big Gay Market, an Albany based nonprofit, and an active member of the ABGM advisory council – he prides himself on finding creative solutions to development based initiatives within LGBTQ+ organizations. 

After becoming disabled while attending Russell Sage College in 2019,  Frankie learned to ground his commitment to accessible community resources, disability justice, and LGBTQ+ organizing through service. Embracing the philosophy of joy as a form of queer resistance, he purposefully channels the days he is not experiencing health flare-ups into active community connection. 

Frankie is also a volunteer and Novice Sister with the Empire Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the chapter based in Albany. In his drag persona and vocation as Novice Sister Hole E. Trinity, he spreads warmth and laughter while supporting local fundraising initiatives and collaboration efforts with regional partners. 

At the Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center, Frankie has found immense value and gratitude from his volunteer efforts since 2025 – helping with community projects and regular front desk shifts. He joined the Board in February 2026 where he now serves as the Board Secretary, and proudly volunteers on the Development, Small Events, Jingle Bell Dash, and Resource Directory Planning Committees. 

As a transgender man, Frankie believes that access to resources and safe third spaces are life saving measures for members of the queer community. This blend of lived experience and grassroots training informs his volunteer work & leadership roles continually – he is honored to lead with curiosity and care.
