Trans Teen, Blake Brockington, took his Life


Blake Brockington made history as the first trans man to be the Homecoming King of East Mecklenburg High School a year ago. He was going to do big things and possibly change the world.

Sadly, he took his life on Monday.

QNotes report.

Details of Brockington’s passing and any plans for memorials are not yet known. qnotes will provide updates as they become available.

Brockington’s death was confirmed and announced publicly Tuesday morning by Time Out Youth Center, a local LGBT youth services agency where Brockington received support.

The center is working today to ensure other youth and staff receive needed support. Executive Director Rodney Tucker says youth members and clients have been at their center since 9 a.m. this morning. A counselor will be on hand to speak with staff and is available to youth and clients throughout the day.

Brockington’s death is the second such local incident in recent weeks.

My heart goes out to his friends and family.

R. Kelly’s Child Comes Out as Transgender



Musician R. Kelly and my favorite Hollywood Exes star, Drea has a Transgender child.

Their 13-year-old has transitioned from female to male, and he is now known as Jay.

Jay came out to the on Instagram and in the pic above, his mother is very supportive. Here's more in InTouch magazine:

“[My mom] was like, ‘Baby, you know I love you if you were bi, gay, [lesbian], you name it and I would still love you so much,’” he wrote on his Ask.fm page, which is a social platform that allows users to answer anonymously submitted questions.

“She was very proud of me, I was like, ‘Thank you mum for accepting the fact that I’m a transgender.’

“And same with my sister, she told me that she was proud of me, and respects me by calling me handsome and calling me her little brother now, and I love her for that, so you know it was great for me.”

Jay goes on to explain that he still has female organs, and wears a binder on his chest, but hopes that with the help of surgery and testosterone he can truly be comfortable in his own skin.
No word from R. Kelly on his son's transition. But he better be supportive!
