Trans Teens Stand & Cassata Transcends

A Georgia trans teen takes a solitary stand against the high school bullies who assaulted her, while in Wisconsin the attack on a trans student sparks a walkout by his allies demanding a safe school for all. Ryan Cassata’s latest album, Magical Miracle Mile, shows how much he’s grown since his debut as a 17-year-old trans artist (interviewed in November 2011 by JD Doyle). Plus a “Rainbow Minute” on the career of gay illustrator Richard Amsel! And in NewsWrap: Thailand’s top court pushes marriage equality to lawmakers, the IOC changes the game for trans and intersex Olympians, the U.S. Health Department kills Trump era religious bias, Russian authorities axe an LGBTQ film fest website, a notoriously homophobic Australian town turns a rainbow leaf, and more international LGBTQ news reported this week by MR Raquel and Michael LeBeau (produced by Brian DeShazor).
