For the 15th year, the Colin Higgins Foundation is honoring LGBTQ youth with their Youth Courage Awards, to be held Saturday in Los Angeles. This year, the winners are transgender and bisexual youth activists Alex Bergeron, 20, of San Francisco.; Anthony James, 20, of Columbus, Ga.; and Victoria Villalba, 19, of Phoenix. They each will receive an all-expense paid trip to LA PRIDE and $10,000 as part of the award.

Victoria, if you're reading this, I apologize. The way my country treats immigrants is barbaric.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
