HOUSTON - Members of Houston's transgender community will be in a Wharton County courtroom on Friday to support the widow of a fallen firefighter. A family lawsuit claims the widow, Nikki Araguz, was born a man.

The deceased firefighter's mother and ex-wife want to keep the widow from receiving death benefits on the grounds the marriage is a sham. Araguz was in Houston Wednesday meeting with her transgender attorney, Phyllis Frye, and a leader of the Transgender Foundation of America.
