The passage of the marriage equality act was a giant leap forward for members of the LGBTQ+ communities. The right to marriage is just the beginning, though. In many ways they still lack equality in the eyes of society.
This week, Ball Bearings looks at the way Millennials view sexuality and gender identity. We sat down with a panel of individuals who identify at different places on the spectrum, and asked them about the ways they see their own gender and sexual identities. We followed the life journey of a Millennial transgender woman. We photographed a drag show. We wrote about what it means for Caitlyn Jenner to be the media face of the transgender community. We talked to a lesbian woman who can’t adopt her own son.
We looked at what comes next.
