DemocracyNow.org – Mya Leilani Vazquez

Today is the fourth annual Trans Day of Action for Social and Economic Justice. A rally to the Stonewall Inn is planned for this afternoon to “let the world know, that on the 40th anniversary of Stonewall, the rebellion is not over.” We speak with transgender activist, Mya Leilani Vazquez.

Four decades after Stonewall, where is the transgender community? Well, earlier this week the New York Times reported that the Obama administration has begum drafting guidelines that would for the first time protect transgender federal employees from workplace discrimination.
