A monthly magazine out of Denver has issued a retraction and apology to the LGBT community following hyperbole gone wrong in the publication of an Op/Ed column about a transgender Colorado student.

The unnamed Douglas County second-grader, covered in the local and national news including Denver's KUSA-TV, is biologically a boy but has the support of parents and school alike in returning as a girl. The school is preparing for the change by building gender-neutral restrooms and making literature on gender identity available to parents of the child's classmates.
