  9. A level playing field for transgender students

    Society is only beginning to understand transgender identity.

Even for those transgender children or teenagers who have supportive parents &mdash; and many don't &mdash; it's not an easy existence.

Activists are hopeful that the Supreme Court will overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples.
