Lexington's Annual Pride celebration is this weekend, happening on the tail of devastating news such as the mass shooting in Orlando. In the midst of all the discussions involving LGBT issues, Eastern Standard will focus on the oft-forgotten T: Transgender rights and issues. Kentucky recently joined the lawsuit with other states over the controversial matter at hand of Transgender restrooms.
On the show: Eric Alexander of TransLex and Tuesday Meadows, transgender advocates; Richard Nelson of the Commonwealth Policy Center; and Chad Hundley of Pride Community Services Organization from Lexington.
We are interested in your comments, questions, and concerns on Transgender issues both before and during the show. Write to us at wekueasternstandard@gmail.com. You can leave a voice message at 859-622-1657 or call in when you tune in for EST Thursday live from 11:00 to noon on 88.9 WEKU FM.
