36:33 Mourners carry Gwen Araujo’s casket at her funeral The murder of transperson Gwen Araujo in California in October, 2002, sparked widespread outrage. Shelly Prevost, independent film maker and video activist, reports on the murder, media coverage of the tragedy, and it’s effects on the victim’s family. Her short film Isn’t It Obvious, which is being shown at film festivals nationally, is a memorial to Gwen that documents community response to her brutal murder.

67:20 The Human Rights Campaign, the leading national gay rights organization, has long been viewed by many leading transgender activists as more obstacle than ally in obtaining legal protections for transgender persons. HRC recently announced a new strategy for trans inclusion, but is it smoke and mirrors or the real deal? Seth Kilbourne, HRC’s National Field Director, tells us about their current national strategy to improve protections for freedom of gender expression and identity.
