A new public education campaign, Legalize Trans, has launched with the goal of drawing increased attention to transgender people and their issues.

The campaign, created by activists Asher Kolieboi and Brian Murphy, is selling T-shirts, buttons, and other merchandise bearing the message "Legalize Trans," a response to what they see as a lack of trans inclusion in American Apparel's Legalize Gay campaign and in the gay rights movement generally, says Kolieboi, who earlier this year was codirector of the Soulforce Q Equality Ride and one of the young activists featured in The Advocate's Forty Under 40 issue.
