Last month we interviewed Gregory Lewis Executive Director of Cyndi Laupers True Colors Fund. This is the fabulous org that helps support LGBTQ homeless youth. The "Cyndi Lauper & Friends: Home for the Holidays" concert was held at the Beacon Theatre & was a huge hit. The evening featured music from Cyndi as well as special appearances by Norah Jones, Amy Lee, Cassandra Wilson, Rosie O'Donnell, Wanda Sykes, Jon Secada, Carson Kressley, Chely Wright, Skylar Grey, Vanessa Carlton, Angelique Kidjo, Harvey Fierstein, Deluka, Debbie Harry, Alan Cumming, Randy Fenoli & Clay Aiken. Clay Aiken hyped the concert on his website leading up to the event as it's clearly an issue close to his heart. Aiken has been a crowd pleaser ever since his American Idol days & of course he is a strong advocate for our LGBT community. He performed the song "My Grownup Christmas List." It was a fantastic concert for a great cause & fans of Aiken's hope that substantial funds will continue to be raised for the project.

2011 has brought the transgender discussion to the forefront. A lot of the advancement at least in the media must be credited to Chaz Bono. First with his documentary ‘Becoming Chaz’ at Sundance & then with his appearance on ‘Dancing With The Stars.’ I remember when I was a kid there was a transsexual talk show guest making the rounds in the 50’s & 60’s named Christine Jorgensen. She was blond, elegant & the conversation was always respectful. With our LGBT community becoming more & more accepted as we work towards full federal equality the ‘T’ in our family is gaining recognition & rights. Last month in Massachusetts House & Senate passed a bill making it illegal to discriminate against Transgender individuals in employment, housing & credit. There’s still more work to be done on this bill to include public accommodations which didn’t have enough support in the legislature to pass. Then there are the kids who are born knowing their sex on the inside isn’t reflected on the outside & through the courage of the child & their parents steps are taken to correct this. Boston Globe… We live in amazing times. We have a long way to go to achieve full federal equality for our LGBT community but 2011 has been an amazing year for our Transgender family. Updates to Come…:)
