Don Lemon Hosts Inspiring Transgender Panel on Joy Behar Show

Last night, the Joy Behar Show featured a discussion between Chaz Bono, son of the famous singers Sonny and Cher and author of the new book "Transition"; actress and producer Laverne Cox; actress Harmony Santana; and fashion icon Isis King of America's Next Top Model. The three celebrities talked to openly gay newscaster Don Lemon about being transgender.

The segment began with Don, the guest host, talking in-depth with Chaz about his personal experience and the struggles that transgender people continue to face. "For me, the difficult part came before I had the courage to transition. And once I finally got that strength, my life has just been a tremendous blessing," Chaz said. Chaz talked about the difficulties transgender people have today in accessing proper medical care.
