About American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era Media 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 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.
“With heartfelt empathy, Nico Lang uncovers the human stories overshadowed by political rhetoric, showcasing the struggles and resilience of transgender youth amidst adversity while simultaneously amplifying their voices, which are all too often silenced.”
—JAZZ JENNINGS, author of Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen and I Am Jazz About Nico Lang Nico Lang is the creator of Queer News Daily and an award-winning reporter, editor, essayist, author, and critic.

The Utah State Capitol is also a place worth visiting. The Parliament House is quite large and is the most important administrative place of the Utah State Government. Many of the designs in the building are more interesting. It is more difficult to apply for a visit here.

This was our first stop to Salt Lake City. We had friends who had lived in the area for many years. This is where the first Mormon settlers arrived. There are many monuments describing this history and a visitor center with a small movie with this history.
