PORTLAND, Maine — A transgender teen and her family will be honored Oct. 27 by the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine with the 2011 Roger Baldwin Award.

Nicole Maines, her parents, Wayne and Kelly Maines, and the girl's twin brother, Jonas Maines, are being given the organization's highest honor for their efforts toward ending discrimination against transgender Mainers. Nicole and Jonas are 14.

The family, formerly of Orono, lives in southern Maine.
