LONG BEACH, California -- Colle Carpenter says he will overcome the traumatic hate crime attack he endured April 15 on the Cal State Long Beach campus, but it's a struggle.

The 27-year-old transgender graduate student was approached by a man inside the restroom on the west side of the campus's KKJZ radio station building.
