For Redd, the Ruth Ellis Center was a rainbow in a window beckoning, and his life hasn't been the same since. Redd's family wouldn't accept her as a boy, it was a difficult coming out. "They wouldn't really say anything, it was just their attitude," he said. "They would prefer not to have me around so they won't have to say nothing. (The Ruth Ellis Center) is something I can do that I can't do with family."
His friend Shawn (also transgendered) had a similar experience.
