Transgender Rights Fight

Gavin Grimm was a sophomore in high school when he was barred from using the boys' restroom because he's transgender. He sued, and a protracted legal fight that ascended to the Supreme Court turned the teenager into a national cause celebre.

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to decide within weeks whether to hear a major transgender rights case for the first time, a dispute involving which bathroom a Virginia high school student can use, but the justices have reasons to duck the issue.

A Virginia school board may temporarily block a student who was born a girl from using the boys' bathroom while a legal fight over transgender rights proceeds on appeal, the US Supreme Court said on Wednesday.

Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly said on Monday that she will not stop fighting for equal rights for lesbians, gays, transgender people and bisexuals despite years of character assassination and threats to her life and the lives of her 2-year-old twins.
