Actress Cloris Leachman and human-rights activist Stuart Milk, founder of the Harvey Milk Foundation, may be the best known in San Diego's LGBT Pride parade today.  But I salute the Pride organizers for recognizing transgender blogger Autumn Sandeen of Pam's House Blend with their Champion of San Diego Pride honor. Sandeen made national news this year by standing in her uniform side by side with Lt. Dan Choi at the White House gate to protest Don't Ask, Don't Tell.  I met Autumn when she came to LA for an event to interview Judy Chu (pictured), who was then running for Congress and was being honored by Equality California. She was also kind enough to contribute to this blog to help explain the "detransition" and sudden suicide of transgender L.A. Times sports columnist Christine Daniels/Mike Penner.
