Trans Latinas find a refuge in Queens: "Since 2008, a growing number of transgender Latinas have gathered in Queens every Friday night, discussing challenges unfamiliar to many New Yorkers: Where do I buy female hormones without a prescription?

San Diego Union Tribune profiles San Diego County supervisor-elect Dave Roberts:"They wed on July 2, 2008, on the 17th day of a 142-day sliver of history when California legalized same-sex marriage and 18,000 gay or lesbian couples got hitched as the rest of us have for centuries: They just did.
