Trans activists sworn in as D.C. human rights commissioners


The Director of the Mayor's Office of GLBT Affairs, Jeffrey Richardson (center) looks on as Mayor Vincent Gray makes history swearing in Alexandra Beninda (second from right) and Earline Budd at the Wilson building on Wednesday.

In what LGBT activists considered an historic development, Mayor Vincent Gray on Wednesday administered the oath of office to transgender advocates Earline Budd and Alexandra Beninda as members of the D.C. Commission on Human Rights.

The appointments of Budd and Beninda represent the first time a transgender person has been named to the city's Commission on Human Rights.
History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.
