Against Me Singer Comes Out As Transgender


Tom Gabel, the lead singer of Against Me! has done an interview with RS and revealed himself to be Transgendered. Tom will soon begin living as a woman and eventually take the name of Laura Jane Grace.  Since the news broke on Friday the band has seen support from fellow rockers Gaslight Anthem and GLAAD. President of GLAAD Herndon Graddick told RS...  
"Tom is displaying extraordinary courage by coming out as transgender after already establishing herself as a rock star. For many of the band's fans, this may be the first time they're actually thinking about transgender people and the bravery it sometimes takes in order to be true to yourself. We've seen nothing but support from Tom's fanbase online, and we hope her story will help countless transgender youth who have not had someone like her to relate to before."
