Taking the stage holding a sign that bore the slogan, "I AM A MAN" at this year's Bayard Rustin Community Breakfast, Diego Sanchez at once paid tribute to the gay, black civil rights pioneer for whom the event is named and affirmed his own transgender identity.

Bayard Rustin was a remarkable person, if you know nothing about him google the name and read some stuff.  Pretty interesting.
