Contemporary Queer #1: Landon Richie is a Transgender Teen Advancing LGBTQIA+ Equality in the Deep South, GenderCool Champion
Today's Contemporary Queer is Landon Richie; a transgender boy from Texas, only 17 years old, and already making waves in the Southern queer community in the United States. He has spoken out at rallies and protests against anti-LGBT legislation, been featured by RollingStone as a leader changing the landscape for queers in the Deep South, and is one of the GenderCool Project’s youth champions, advocating for the advancement of LGBT youths in sports, music, and the arts.
