Their work has appeared in major publications\, including Rolling Stone\, Esquire\, The New York Times\, Vox\, The Wall Street Journal\, Salon\, Harper’s Bazaar\, Time\, The Washington Post\, and the Los Angeles Times. Lang is the creator of Queer News Daily and previously served as the deputy editor for Out magazine\, the news editor for Them\, the LGBTQ+ correspondent for VICE\, and the editor and cofounder of the literary journal In Our Words. Their industry-leading contributions to queer media have resulted in a GLAAD Media Award\, 10 awards from the National Association of LGBTQ Journalists (NLGJA)\, and three awards from the Los Angeles Press Club\, including the 2023 Online Journalist of the Year. Lang is also the first-ever recipient of the Visibility Award from the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund (TLDEF)\, an honor created to recognize their impactful contributions to reporting on the lives of LGBTQ+ people.\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\nAmerican Teenager: How Trans Kids are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era \nMedia coverage tends to sensationalize the fight over how trans kids should be allowed to live\, but what is incredibly rare are the voices of the people at the heart of this debate: transgender and gender nonconforming kids themselves. For their groundbreaking new book\, journalist Nico Lang spent a year traveling the country to document the lives of transgender\, nonbinary\, and genderfluid teens and their families. Drawing on hundreds of hours of on-the-ground interviews with them and the people in their communities\, American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era paints a vivid portrait of what it’s actually like to grow up trans today.From the tip of Florida’s conservative panhandle to vibrant queer communities in California\, and from Texas churches to mosques in Illinois\, American Teenager gives readers a window into the lives of Wyatt\, Rhydian\, Mykah\, Clint\, Ruby\, Augie\, Jack\, and Kylie\, eight teens who\, despite what some lawmakers might want us to believe\, are truly just kids looking for a brighter future.Find American Teenager at your local bookstore or library today!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://familyequality.org/event/american-teenager-a-reading-and-qa-with-nico-lang/ CATEGORIES:Author Talks,Virtual Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://familyequality.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/AmericanTeenagerReading.png LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250331T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250331T200000 DTSTAMP:20250611T195928Z CREATED:20250325T033611Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250611T195928Z UID:10001035-1743447600-1743451200@familyequality.org SUMMARY:Trans Day of Visibility: Building Power and Solidarity Across Generations DESCRIPTION:LGBTQ communities\, backed by our loved ones\, are fighting for a world where everyone can thrive.
