Transgender model and activist Geena Rocero responded to Emma Watson's call for global gender equality during a speech at the United Nations.

On Saturday, the Harry Potter actress said both men and women should be able to show strength and sensitivity, and that "it is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum, not as two opposing sets of ideals."

Rocero, who spoke during At the 2014 Social Good Summit Rocero she "couldn't agree more" with Watson.

We've been led to believe gender is binary—either you're just a rigid male or female... The transgender experience is a bridge that will connect the understanding of struggles and suffering of the rigid gender binary. Gender and gender expression is fluid.

A TED Talk from March, in which Rocero discussed her experience being trans, has garnered more than two million views. She has launched the trans-advocacy group Gender Proud.

Huffington Post editor Michaelangelo Signorile points out that while Eleanor's relationship with reporter Lorena Hickok is sanitized, Burns goes into great detail about Franklin's affair with his secretary, Lucy Mercer. "Burns needn't have definitively decided whether Eleanor Roosevelt was bisexual or had sexual relationships with women. But he surely could have had an interesting discussion, with various points of view. "

"I'm gay. Get over it... It's a great life," announced Furlo, a Democrat and Pennsylvania's first openly gay state senator. "Hundreds of people know I'm gay," he added. "I just never made an official declaration."

Ferlo is sponsoring a bill to add gender identity and sexual orientation to the state's current hate-crime laws. The push for such a change stems from a recent attack on a Philadelphia gay couple by a mob of more than a dozen assailants.

A gay couple marred in California say their wedding day was marred by homophobic slurs.

Oscar De Las Salas and Gary Jackson (above) were married in Coronado's Centennial Park in August, but what should have been the happiest day of their lives was tarnished as an unknown man shouted phrases like “go home homos” and “go home fags."

The shouting distracted the couple and guests, but Salas and Jackson say they worried the demonstrators might have had a gun. Now, however, they're just disappointed.

“It’s just sad that that is now ingrained for the rest of our lives in our wedding day,” said Jackson. “That person took a chunk of what should have been a beautiful day and turned it into something nasty and full of hate.”

Said De Las Salas, “He took from me, my husband, and my guests a moment of joy, a simple moment of joy."
