From tranzalliez (among other comms):
The Advocate - a premiere LGBT news magazine - has come under pressure from trans activists and allies after it referred to a couple who were legally married in New York as a "same-sex" couple. In the article N.Y. Unwittingly Marries "Same-Sex" Couple, the couple Hakim Nelson and Jason Stenson were given a marriage license because the clerk was unaware of the birth gender of Nelson who now goes by Kimah.
Neither Jason nor Kimah identify as gay, and this is a poor example of reporting. Please read this (since-ammended article) and this (Queers United Post on the subject -- includes contact info for The Advocate) and contact The Advocate and let them know it's time to report on trans issues accurately.
